About Apricum

Apricum – The Cleantech Advisory is a global transaction and strategy advisory firm dedicated to renewable energy and cleantech. Established in 2008 and headquartered in Berlin, we support companies and investors in delivering the energy transition. We differentiate ourselves through our standards, culture and technical understanding. Apricum’s leadership in cleantech has put the firm on a strong growth trajectory, with new offices opened in London in 2021, Dubai in 2022 and Paris in 2022. Our growth continues.

Your position

Apricum’s transaction advisory business is growing exceptionally fast. We require ever more execution capacity to support our global clients in delivering the energy transition. We seek a Corporate Finance Associate in the Berlin office whose personal growth can keep pace with ours. We are international, diverse and proud to mainly hire from elite academic and business backgrounds.

We bring the cleantech expertise, you bring the transaction execution experience. You will mainly work on solar, wind, energy storage, digital energy / gridtech, and hydrogen. You will work for blue-chip global corporates, investment funds and growth companies in M&A, and private capital markets. You will work in close collaboration with the heads of M&A and Capital Advisory.

More importantly – we are collaborative. London is Apricum’s global center for transaction advisory and investment banking. You must be willing to support our outstanding strategy consulting teams, based in Berlin, Dubai, Paris and London. This broadens the nature of our work beyond execution-only investment banking and brings you the leading-edge industrial expertise which underpins our success.
