* Practical 'origination to close' experience in a transactional/M&A context.
* Knowledge of specific market factors in Scotland is desirable.
* Enjoy working flexibly to client and transaction-driven deadlines in a diverse, solutions-driven team environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Leading deals from origination through structuring and closing on various net zero and supply chain investments.
* Collaborating with Investment Risk, Investment Legal, and Impact Assessment colleagues on all investment opportunities.
* Managing due diligence, financial modeling, risk analysis, and mitigation in structuring loans, equity investments, or other deal structures.
* Preparing investment papers and supporting more junior team members.
* Ensuring legal documentation is successfully structured, negotiated, and concluded in line with approvals.
* Developing strong relationships with the energy sector ecosystem in Scotland, including banks, advisers, institutional investors, and industry players.
* Supporting the execution of the Scotwind investment strategy and maintaining relationships with government and industry bodies.
At the Scottish National Investment Bank, you will find a supportive culture that values your expertise and autonomy, encourages continuous learning, and offers opportunities for meaningful work. On offer is a salary range of £78-92k, depending on your level of experience.
