- Partner with Finance, Legal, Development and Delivery teams to support projects through construction, into operations and beyond, ensuring ongoing compliance with financing requirements.
- Develop and maintain project and portfolio-level financial models, funding forecasts and performance analysis to support effective capital deployment and decision-making.
- Contribute to future debt raises, refinancing initiatives and financing optimisation opportunities, while supporting the continued development and enhancement of Elgin’s financing platform.
