SG's Infrastructure Finance team is a recognised market-leader, assisting clients to acquire and develop assets across the infrastructure sector for many years. This has enabled us to develop a strong franchise across the EMEA region.

The Infrastructure Finance team works across sub-sectors such as Transport, Utilities and Networks, Waste, Water, Energy Transition-adjacent assets, core plus and value add infra. We believe that financing infrastructure is about recognising the inherent defensive characteristics of an asset or a business and structuring to that. We cover most northern European geographies (and other selected regions within EMEA) out of London, offering arranging and advisory products. As a bank and as a team, we are passionate about funding projects that have a positive impact on the planet both from an environmental and social standpoint.

As a result of recent retirements, we are looking to appoint a new Managing Director who can operate as the team deputy bringing fresh ideas, contacts and ways of working to enable us to retain and develop our standing within this space. We are open to hiring either an experienced Director looking to take the next step in your career or an established MD looking for new challenges.

This will be an exciting role offering the opportunity to help shape the team and its strategic direction, bringing energy, commitment and capability. The successful candidate will work with colleagues across various product and sector teams to develop innovative solutions for our clients. You will also have the opportunity to mentor the rest of the team helping them to achieve their personal goals.
