You will be instrumental in identifying new avenues for expansion—whether through acquisitions or innovative partnerships—and will take ownership of evaluating these opportunities from both financial and commercial perspectives. By preparing insightful business cases and presenting them at the highest levels of the company, you will ensure that every recommendation is grounded in sound analysis. Your collaborative approach will enable you to partner effectively with internal teams as well as external advisors during transaction processes. Success in this role requires not only technical proficiency but also strong interpersonal skills as you build consensus among stakeholders while maintaining rigorous standards for governance. This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the company’s future direction while developing your own expertise within a supportive network.

• Lead the formulation and execution of comprehensive strategic growth plans that align with the organisation’s vision for sustainable expansion.
• Identify, evaluate, and assess potential investments such as acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, and new market entries by conducting thorough commercial assessments.
• Develop detailed financial models, perform business valuations, conduct market research, and undertake feasibility studies to inform investment decisions.
• Prepare compelling investment papers, business cases, and presentations tailored for senior management teams, executive committees, and board members.
• Monitor industry trends, competitor activities, and macroeconomic factors to proactively identify risks and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
• Collaborate with various business units to review expansion proposals, capital allocation requests, and strategic project submissions.
• Lead cross-functional teams through all phases of transaction execution including due diligence processes, negotiations with external parties, and post-investment integration activities when required.
• Formulate strategic recommendations based on robust financial analysis combined with market intelligence and operational performance data.
• Track the ongoing performance of existing investments while recommending initiatives aimed at maximising value creation across portfolios.
• Establish rigorous investment evaluation frameworks and governance processes that underpin effective decision-making throughout the organisation.

What you bring:

Your background should reflect deep familiarity with financial modelling techniques as well as hands-on involvement in evaluating major transactions such as mergers or joint ventures. Beyond technical skills, your ability to communicate complex findings clearly—both verbally and through written reports—will set you apart when interacting with executive stakeholders. You thrive when collaborating across functions; building trust-based relationships comes naturally thanks to your empathetic approach. A keen sense of integrity guides your judgement even under pressure while your project management abilities help keep initiatives on track despite competing demands. Exposure to regional or international projects would further enhance your suitability by demonstrating adaptability across diverse markets. Ultimately, your combination of analytical rigour with interpersonal sensitivity makes you an invaluable contributor who supports collective success.

• Demonstrated experience evaluating mergers & acquisitions transactions or managing joint ventures/capital investments is highly preferred for this position.
• Exceptional commercial acumen enabling you to translate complex analyses into actionable strategic recommendations for executive audiences.
• Outstanding stakeholder management skills coupled with polished executive presentation abilities are vital for influencing board-level decisions.
• Experience engaging directly with senior management teams or board members ensures you can operate confidently at the highest levels of an organisation.
