Work Experience

• Minimum: Around 5 to 8 years of relevant experience across project finance, financial planning and analysis, or corporate finance, with meaningful exposure to accounting and reporting. Calibrate the exact range to the seniority you intend, since the treasury and structuring scope here could justify pushing to 8 plus for a stronger hire.

Direct experience setting up SPVs, incorporating companies (PT PMA), and handling capital injections is highly valued.
