 Coordinate with management teams, consultants, lawyers, financial advisers, technical experts, government authorities and other stakeholders.

 Participate in important meetings, accurately record decisions and ensure timely follow-up and implementation.

 Identify delays, inconsistencies, commercial risks and unresolved issues, and proactively recommend solutions.

 Support negotiations, business development initiatives, partnerships, investments and special situations.

 Organise and prioritise matters requiring promoter’s attention, ensuring that he receives complete and decision-ready information.

 Maintain strict confidentiality in relation to business, financial and personal matters.

 Undertake limited executive coordination and travel planning where connected with business priorities.

​

Candidate Profile

 Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from a reputed institution.

 Approximately 5-7 years of relevant professional experience in strategy, consulting, investment analysis, project management, corporate finance, preferably worked with the promoter’s office, CEO’s office or a similar cross-functional role.

 Strong understanding of financial statements, business models, project economics and commercial evaluation.

 Experience in infrastructure, engineering, manufacturing, energy, investment, consulting or diversified business groups would be advantageous.

 Excellent analytical and problem-solving ability, with the confidence to form and communicate an independent view.

 Strong proficiency in Excel-based financial analysis and PowerPoint presentations.
