Associate / VP (Europe-based, Fully Remote)

The role will be at Associate or Vice President level, depending on experience. It will support project leads by providing financial advisory expertise in the origination, development, and due diligence of sustainability-linked projects across a range of sectors, including energy, mobility, waste, and the circular economy.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in project or infrastructure finance.
