• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
• 5–10+ years of experience in commercial lending, credit analysis, or project finance.
• Strong analytical, quantitative, and communication skills.
• Proficiency in financial statement analysis, cash flow modeling, and scenario planning.
• Experience evaluating complex, multi-party projects, including infrastructure, energy, and public-private partnerships.
• Completion of a credit training program and familiarity with credit documentation.
• Ability to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (2016 or later).
• Ability to travel as required to U.S. project sites.
• Strong ability to work in a high-paced team environment and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Competitive salary range of USD $150,000–$250,000 per year.
• Opportunities to work on high-profile, large-scale projects with strategic impact.
• Exposure to diverse sectors including infrastructure, energy, and P3 projects.
