Help architect and implement the analytical and data infrastructure that enables structured project finance analysis to be leveraged across the organization in project financings, internal tracking/reporting, external tracking/reporting, budgeting, etc.

Financial Modeling & Management

Implement the terms of the tax equity, construction debt, term debt, cash equity, etc. financing in the project finance model templates.   Communicate to internal stakeholders our underwriting standards and implement those standards in the project finance model templates.   Support running financing processes to find and secure sources of capital that are the best fit for the company’s goals.

You’re willing to ask lots of questions, listen to your colleagues, and contribute your ideas. Self-motivated, dependable, and accountable. This means showing up, being present, and being eager to dive into the workday.

Ability to work independently, multitask, and take ownership of projects and assignments. You’re comfortable taking initiative, asking questions, and speaking up.
