As part of strengthening our team in the Milan office, we are looking for a: Associate/Consultant – Energy & Infrastructure Advisory Role Overview The Consultant/Analyst will play a core execution and analytical role across live mandates, with direct exposure to senior advisors, clients, and investors. This is not a “support” role: the position requires autonomy, critical thinking, and ownership of complex workstreams, while maintaining the analytical rigor expected in high-stakes financial advisory. The role sits at the intersection of financial modeling, transaction execution, and strategic problem-solving, with a strong sectoral focus on energy and infrastructure assets.

Key Responsibilities

Transaction Execution & Financial Analysis

• Build and review advanced financial models (DCF, project finance models, LBO-style acquisition models, capital structure and refinancing models) for renewable energy and infrastructure assets
• Perform valuation analyses for single assets and platforms, including sensitivity and scenario analyses tailored to market and regulatory risks
• Support execution of M&A mandates (buy-side and sell-side), including preparation of teasers, information memoranda, data rooms, and management presentations
• Contribute to capital raising processes, coordinating financial analysis, investor materials, and due diligence inputs

Strategic & Sector Analysis

• Analyze regulatory frameworks, market dynamics, and revenue mechanisms relevant to energy and infrastructure assets (e.g. merchant risk, long-term contracts, incentives, grid constraints)
• Support strategic advisory mandates for developers and IPPs, including bankability assessments, funding strategies, and portfolio optimization
• Produce concise, decision-oriented analyses rather than generic market reports

Client & Deal Team Interaction

• Act as a key point of reference within deal teams, managing analytical workstreams with limited supervision
• Interact with clients, investors, lenders, and technical advisors in a professional and commercially aware manner
• Review and challenge assumptions, identifying risks and inconsistencies rather than passively executing instructions

Candidate Profile Experience

• 1–4 years of experience in investment banking, financial advisory, infrastructure/energy advisory, project finance, or infrastructure investing
• Demonstrated exposure to energy and/or infrastructure transactions; renewables experience is a strong advantage

Technical Skills

• Excellent financial modeling skills in Excel; ability to build and audit complex models independently
• Strong understanding of capital structures, debt instruments, and project finance mechanics
• Ability to synthesize complex quantitative and qualitative information into clear insights

Mindset & Soft Skills

• High level of intellectual curiosity and independent judgment; comfortable challenging assumptions, including those of senior stakeholders
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for deliverables and outcomes
• Ability to operate effectively in a lean, high-responsibility environment with limited hierarchy
• Clear, structured communication skills in English (written and verbal); additional languages are a plus

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to live transactions across M&A, capital raising, and strategic advisory
• Steep learning curve driven by real responsibility, not process bureaucracy
• Opportunity to work closely with senior professionals who combine advisory, entrepreneurial, and operational experience
• A platform designed for professionals who prefer depth, rigor, and impact over scale and brand signaling
