Job Description
Manager, Power & Utilities Corporate Finance Advisory
Base location: London Canary Wharf or any of 20 offices nationally. The role is hybrid.
The team
KPMG’s Power & Utilities (P&U) team is the leading regulatory, financial and economic advisor to UK infrastructure companies and investors. We help our clients to develop, model and finance business plans that enable billions of pounds of core infrastructure investment, delivering high-profile mandates in water, energy and aviation.
The Corporate Finance team sits at the heart of P&U, providing independent debt and credit rating advice to CFOs and treasurers. Our expertise at the intersection of policy, regulation and finance means we provide clients with insights that traditional corporate finance advisors can’t.
Recent mandates included sizing a water company’s equity requirement, advising on a benchmark utility bond, supporting a large European energy network with a first-time credit rating, and helping several utilities finance infrastructure projects. We have also brought real-world corporate finance expertise to regulatory financeability assessments in water and energy, including a leading role in the ongoing water CMA appeals.
The role
To support our growth, we are seeking to add a Manager (senior associate equivalent) to the team.
As an engagement manager, you’ll have day-to-day responsibility for delivering several concurrent mandates. With support from colleagues, you will be responsible for
- Building financial and credit rating models
- Evaluating financing options
- Conducting bespoke analysis to support client advice
- Drafting client reports, board papers and presentations
- Staying informed about market trends impacting debt markets
You will also work with senior team members to develop new business propositions and client relationships.
You’ll join a successful and growing team with strong deal flow, a collaborative culture, and a flexible working environment.
Positions are also open at Associate Director (experienced VP equivalent) and Assistant Manager (associate) levels, and can be found under separate listings.
The person
We are looking for someone with
- Several years of experience in debt advisory, debt capital markets or credit ratings – gained in a bank, boutique financial advisor, rating agency or corporate treasury
- A solid grounding in corporate finance theory
- Awareness of key credit concepts
- Strong financial modelling skills
- The ability to write and communicate well
Familiarity with regulated infrastructure and the financing structures of UK utilities would be an advantage, but enthusiasm for the sector is essential. ACA, ACCA or CFA qualification is also desirable.
