**Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role**

Internal progression has created space for **two **new Senior Corporate Finance Analysts. Reporting to the GM Corporate Finance, you’ll work across the full range of Corporate Finance functions, investing most of your time in financial modelling, capital project evaluation, investment analysis and mergers and acquisition, as well as contributing to projects to improve our BAU systems and efficiency. Another key area of focus for this role will be the continuous improvement of our Commodity Risk Management System (CRMS).

There’s no “typical day” we can describe. Part of a humming team of 10, your mahi will be varied and exciting, leading workstreams that drive decision-making through robust analysis, connecting teams and pieces of work across Contact in line with our strategy, and ultimately helping bring our vision to life.

**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, all of which you’ve developed over years of experience in a similar role. You have refined your own consultative style and know how to craft business cases that really connect with people. You can influence and 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 well used to writing reports and business cases and take care to deliver them with just the right level of detail and a polished look.

You have developed this level of professionalism over years of hard-earned experience, starting with study toward your university qualification (in Accounting, Finance or Economics), all the way through to now, where you’ve worked a fair bit of time in corporate finance and have a high degree of capability in financial modelling, project evaluation, investment analysis, and M&A. You get a kick out of researching and evaluating data and are comfortable working independently, but also enjoy 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. If you have an interest in data, even better - there’s real opportunity to get stuck into that side of things, particularly on the commodity risk side.
