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. #ValuationsManager #DirectInvestments #FinancialModelling #FinancialModeling #Valuation #FinanceJobs #PrivateEquity #VentureCapital #ExcelWizard #MiddleOffice Randstad Technologies is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
