Financial Modelling & Business Case Development

Build and review advanced financial models, incorporating NPV, IRR, DSCR, and ROI analyses to support investment decisions and risk assessment.

Conduct sensitivity analyses, scenario modelling, and stress testing to evaluate project viability and optimize funding structures.

Develop investment-grade business cases and HBU (Highest & Best Use) studies to inform strategic decision-making.

Transaction Management & Stakeholder Engagement

Lead negotiations with government entities, developers, investors, and financial institutions to secure commercially sound and balanced agreements.

Drive governance and evaluation processes, including technical and financial committee reviews, evaluation reporting, and audit-ready documentation.

Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with legal, commercial, and technical teams to ensure project compliance and successful delivery.

Market Intelligence & Partnership Development

Conduct market sounding activities to test investor appetite, integrate market feedback, and refine project structures and KPIs.

Foster strategic partnerships with key public and private stakeholders to unlock new opportunities and enhance transaction outcomes.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelors degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or Engineering ; Masters degree (MBA or equivalent) preferred.

Minimum 8+ years of progressive experience in PPP project development, privatization, investment strategy, or infrastructure finance , ideally within a corporate investment, advisory, or government-linked environment.

Proven track record of leading full transaction cycles including feasibility studies, financial modelling, tendering, and negotiations.

Strong understanding of PPP legal frameworks, risk allocation mechanisms, performance securities, and concession structures.

Demonstrated experience managing large, cross-sector portfolios and complex stakeholder environments.

Professional certifications such as CP3P, PMP, or CFA are advantageous.

Key Competencies
