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:

\n
• Build & maintain the calculators: They will design and update the complex financial spreadsheets (models) that calculate company values.
\n
• 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.
\n
• 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."
\n
• Regulatory and Audit liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and substantiate valuation methodologies.
\n

Essentials

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

Desirable

\n
• Private Equity / Venture Capital knowledge: Ideally, they know the IPEV Guidelines. These are just the standard international rules for valuing private companies.
\n
• Financial modelling experience: Look for people who explicitly mention building valuation models from scratch, not just updating someone else's.
