Experience

We imagine you have a good grasp of the financial markets, interest rate trends, financial documentation, and an understanding of various debt instruments to make informed decisions regarding the best financing options available.

Recognise Yourself?

On a personal level, we imagine you are someone who is positive and adaptable to new colleagues and tasks. With a natural sense of humour and a “can do” attitude, you effortlessly recognize opportunities rather than limitations. You appreciate a friendly and informal working environment where you feel responsible and dare to challenge existing practices.

As Senior Associate, you will work with colleagues across departments and disciplines.
