POSITION INFO:

SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST – PROJECT FINANCE

Cape Town | Renewable Energy | Permanent

A leading renewable energy IPP is hiring a Senior Financial Analyst for a uniquely structured, high-impact Project Finance team.
This is not a traditional development track analyst role. While financial modelling is the core deliverable, this position goes far beyond spreadsheets. You will act as the custodian of the financial model across projects, presenting confidently at board level and operating cross-functionally across the organisation.

What Makes This Role Different:
Generalist project finance role not a narrow finance-only function
Own, build and protect sophisticated project finance models
Present to EXCO and Board with confidence
Engage directly with lenders, banks and legal advisors
Work closely with Technical, Commercial, BD, Procurement & Asset Management teams
Support structuring, negotiations and financial close
Play a key role in capital raising and tariff strategy

We’re Looking For:
Postgraduate qualification in Finance/Economics (Master’s advantageous)
2–3+ years’ relevant project finance experience
Renewable energy sector exposure essential
Deal closing experience highly advantageous
Advanced Excel and financial modelling expertise
Commercially articulate a true “words and numbers” professional
Technically strong, cross-functional and able to hit the ground running
This role suits a commercially mature analyst who understands finance deeply not just how to model it and wants real influence in the energy transition.

This opportunity is ideal for a commercially mature analyst who understands project finance at a deeper level not just modelling and wants meaningful influence in the energy transition.

If you’re ready to step into a broader, high-impact role in renewable energy finance, we’d love to hear from you.
