As part of our continued growth, we are looking for a Treasury Analyst to support the development of our financing expertise and offer to clients.
The particular focus of this role is on supporting debt and equity raise processes and implementing the key changes in project companies driven by financing requirements (e.g. compliance with debt covenants, drawdown requests, compliance certificates).
This will also offer you the opportunity to further develop your skillset and progress into a role working on large project finance transactions across our portfolio of infrastructure programs. Future tasks will include:
1. Supporting the development of new commercial models for infrastructure and financing approaches and ultimately raising debt and equity.
2. Project Finance cashflow modelling.
Company:
Agilia is a specialist infrastructure consultancy operating at the forefront of some of the most exciting and challenging infrastructure projects in the UK and across the world. Established in 2017 our team now comprises a growing number of infrastructure professionals with experience covering all major infrastructure sectors.
Our joint Managing Directors were both key members of the client team that was responsible for the £4.2 billion Thames Tideway Tunnel project. Within our Senior team we possess a particularly strong record in the Water and Energy sectors. The key strategic objectives of Agilia are to:
1. Build a leading-edge consultancy with world class capability that provides clients with the benefit of first-hand innovative experience in the development and delivery of mega projects, whether publicly or privately financed.
2. To aggregate senior and early career talent so that the current infrastructure leaders may help form future leaders in the field of infrastructure.
3. To provide opportunity to groups that have been historically less well represented within our industry.
4. To be and remain connected with the communities that we ultimately serve.
In April 2023, Agilia’s ownership structure changed and is now constituted as an Employee-Owned Trust (EOT).
This is a hugely positive step for us and will align our business even more closely with the needs of our clients.
Responsibilities & Tasks:
1. Requirements review and analysis
1. Support the Project Director and Treasury leadership within client organisations in reviewing new financing requirements (from shareholder and loan documentation) and determining business change impacts.
2. Working collaboratively across project teams to define required inputs into key financing processes (e.g. compliance with debt covenants, drawdown requests, compliance certificates).
3. Determine an implementation plan for key business changes driven by new financing requirements, working with the Project Director and Treasury Leadership to establish a deliverable set of implementation steps before and after financial close.
2. Process development and implementation
1. Develop and update key business processes, fully reflecting the new financing requirements and ensuring alignment with the broader set of related requirements (e.g. economic regulatory requirements).
2. Ensure that processes are optimised and efficient, so that required inputs are provided to support compliance with financing requirements while minimising the impact on the wider company. These processes could include:
1. Confirmation that drawdowns requests have been verified in accordance with scheduled milestones, qualified costs, no events of default, compare to forecasted drawdowns;
2. Reconciliation of monthly/quarterly actual expenditure versus forecasts (mechanism for under and over expenditure vs forecasts and cost overruns) all in accordance with agreed documentation;
