**Qualifications**:
**Ko wai koe | About you**

In the words of the guy who could be your new boss, good Corporate Finance is art + science. To nail this role, you’ll need a little creativity and magic as well as the technical competencies you already know about. You first built these skills at uni studying Accounting, Finance, or Economics, went on to become CA or CFA qualified (or are nearly there) then _really_ refined them providing financial advisory services in a CA corporate finance team, investment banking, management consulting, or similar corporate background.

You’re developing your own consultative style and the ability to craft business cases that really connect with people. You can build rapport with ease - the whole relationship side of things comes naturally for you. You thrive in dynamic conversation and back your great verbal skills up with written comms that are just as good. You’re a keen learner who gets a kick out of researching and evaluating data and is comfortable working independently, but also enjoys bouncing off of peers and working collaboratively.

It would be great if you’ve worked in the Energy sector before, but we’re happy to provide training on the markets and would love to see a variety of backgrounds. Experience in financial modelling, project evaluation, and investment analysis is where it’s at, and if you have an interest in alternative modelling techniques (beyond Microsoft Excel, including R-studio / Python and data manipulation), even better.
