- Review and independently challenge valuation models, forecasts, discount rates (including country, currency, and company-specific risk premia), terminal-value assumptions, capital structures, and other key inputs, focusing on the principal drivers of value and risk.
- Evaluate valuation approaches across sectors and instruments, including discounted cash flow, market and transaction multiples, yield-based methods, scenario analysis, and other techniques appropriate to the facts and circumstances.
- Assess the valuation implications of transactions and material portfolio developments and advise on complex or judgmental matters.
- Ensure that valuation conclusions are supported by high-quality documentation and are applied consistently across assets, funds, and reporting periods.
Governance and Control:
- Maintain a valuation governance framework aligned with ASC 820, the IPEV Valuation Guidelines, and the firm's valuation policies.

Stakeholder Partnership:
- Partner with infrastructure investment teams, portfolio finance, fund accounting, and other control functions to obtain relevant information and reach well-reasoned conclusions.
- Provide constructive challenge to deal teams and explain valuation requirements and conclusions clearly to senior stakeholders, committees, and auditors.
- Monitor market, macroeconomic, regulatory, country-risk, and sector developments that may affect portfolio valuations, and communicate emerging themes proactively.
Team Leadership and Operating Model:
- Lead, coach, and develop valuation professionals across locations, setting clear expectations for analytical rigor and execution.
- Improve valuation models, discount-rate framework templates, data flows, review protocols, and reporting, including through appropriate use of technology and automation.
- Flexibility to work across time zones with colleagues in other regions is expected, particularly around quarter-end.

- Demonstrated experience valuing infrastructure assets, such as power and energy including solar and wind farms (contracted and merchant), transmission, digital infrastructure, toll roads and other concession-based transportation assets, logistics, utilities, or other contracted or regulated assets.
- Strong financial-modeling expertise, including discounted cash flow analysis, cost-of-capital build-ups, calibration to transaction prices, market and transaction benchmarking, scenario analysis, and complex capital structures.
- Strong knowledge of fair-value principles and valuation governance, including ASC 820 and the IPEV Valuation Guidelines.
- Experience working across multiple geographies, currencies, and regulatory regimes, with direct emerging-markets valuation experience strongly preferred.
- Ability to communicate valuation judgments effectively to investment professionals, senior management, valuation committees, auditors, and third-party advisers.
