Direct Investment Valuations Manager

Job Title:

Direct Investment Valuations Manager

Contract:

6 months

Location:

London, UK

The Mission:
They will own the math, models, and processes used to calculate the value of the bank's direct company investments.

Organisational context:
It sits in the "Middle Office" under Finance. They report to a Senior Manager and won't have anyone reporting to them right away, so we need a strong independent doer, not just a people manager.

Responsibilities:

Build & maintain the calculators:
They will design and update the complex financial spreadsheets (models) that calculate company values.
Gather data:
Pull financial information from the companies the bank has invested in to make sure the math is based on real, up-to-date facts.
Run the meetings:
Every quarter, they'll put together the data packs and be a key voice in the room telling executives, "Here is what our portfolio is worth and why."
Regulatory and Audit liaison:
Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and substantiate valuation methodologies.

Essentials

Education:

A university degree in a math-heavy or business subject (Finance, Economics, Accounting, etc.).
Process & policy writers:
Someone who has experience writing down the rules, processes, and control documentation for how finance operations should run.
Data interpreters:
They need to be able to look at messy company data, make sense of it, and explain it to non-finance people.
Excel wizards:
Advanced Microsoft Office skills are mandatory because they live in spreadsheets.

Desirable

Private Equity / Venture Capital knowledge:
Ideally, they know the IPEV Guidelines. These are just the standard international rules for valuing private companies.
Financial modelling experience:
Look for people who explicitly mention building valuation models from scratch, not just updating someone else's.#Valuations Manager #Direct Investments #Financial Modelling #Financial Modeling #Valuation #Finance Jobs #Private Equity #Venture Capital #Excel Wizard #Middle Office
