Project Finance teams, this person will be based in Milan (with the
possibility of hybrid remote working) and report to the Head of Project Finance.
What you’ll do:

execution of sell-side, buy-side and partnership transactions by working on the
whole spectrum from inception to closing.

sensitivity analyses and scenario assessments.
- Analyse and roll-out the strategic
entry in new geographical markets and the development of new business models
