The successful candidate will possess strong expertise in private equity valuation, financial modelling, investment analysis, and valuation standards.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the valuation of private equity investments, including buyout transactions, growth equity, venture capital, minority interests, and other privately held securities.
Apply appropriate valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow analysis, comparable company analysis, precedent transaction analysis, and other relevant market-based approaches.
Assess the suitability of valuation techniques based on the nature of each investment, available information, transaction structure, and market conditions.
Build, review, and maintain sophisticated financial models to evaluate portfolio companies, investment performance, projected cash flows, and enterprise value.
Analyze financial statements, management accounts, business plans, forecasts, capitalization tables, shareholder agreements, and investment documentation.
Evaluate key valuation assumptions, including revenue growth, EBITDA margins, discount rates, terminal values, market multiples, liquidity considerations, and company-specific risk factors.
Review portfolio company performance and assess its impact on investment valuations, including changes in operating results, capital structure, market conditions, and financing arrangements.
Analyze complex capital structures involving preferred shares, convertible instruments, shareholder loans, warrants, options, and other equity-linked securities.
Assess appropriate valuation techniques for investments with limited observable market data or significant uncertainty in underlying assumptions.
Review recent financing rounds, secondary transactions, acquisitions, and other market evidence to determine their relevance to portfolio valuations.
Perform sensitivity analysis and scenario modelling to evaluate how changes in assumptions affect investment values and portfolio-level reporting.
Monitor public market comparables, industry valuation multiples, interest rates, credit spreads, and broader economic conditions affecting private equity investments.
Prepare detailed valuation memoranda, investment valuation reports, supporting schedules, and management presentations.
Ensure valuation methodologies and reporting processes are consistent with applicable accounting standards, including IFRS or US GAAP where relevant.
Support fair value measurement under IFRS 13, where applicable, and align valuation practices with relevant International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines or other appropriate professional frameworks.
Coordinate with external auditors, fund administrators, investment teams, and valuation service providers during quarterly and annual valuation reviews.
Maintain complete audit trails documenting valuation methodologies, source data, assumptions, judgments, and approval decisions.
Identify valuation risks, inconsistencies, and potential conflicts of interest, escalating material matters through established governance procedures.
Contribute to valuation policy development, methodology standardization, quality assurance, and internal control improvements.
Support portfolio monitoring and investment decision-making by providing independent analytical insights into changes in fair value and investment performance.
Maintain strict confidentiality when handling sensitive financial information, investment records, and commercially sensitive portfolio data.
