Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain detailed financial models for solar and storage investments, incorporating production scenarios, operating assumptions, revenue variability, and downside sensitivity analysis.
• Structure and refine funding approaches by evaluating combinations of equity, construction and permanent debt, and transferable tax credit proceeds to improve project economics.
• Assess project opportunities across different offtake and market arrangements, including merchant exposure, hedging strategies, and behind-the-meter savings structures.
• Prepare concise screening summaries and investment recommendation materials that support approval decisions and identify key risks, returns, and decision points.
• Lead coordination of cross-functional diligence activities by organizing inputs from technical, legal, commercial, and environmental stakeholders and tracking remaining conditions to close.
• Review major project agreements to determine finance ability and alignment with investor and lender expectations, including operational and site-related contracts.
• Support fundraising and transaction execution by assembling diligence materials, maintaining organized virtual data rooms, and responding to lender and investor information requests.
• Create pipeline reporting and forecasting tools that monitor deal stage, probability, timeline, and critical milestones while helping standardize modeling templates and diligence documentation. Requirements
• 5+ years of experience in project finance, infrastructure investing, energy finance, investment banking, or a related analytical environment.
• Strong financial modeling capability in Excel or Google Sheets, including scenario analysis, cash flow forecasting, and capital structure evaluation.
• Knowledge of renewable energy financing concepts, including tax incentive monetization, debt sizing considerations, and project-level return analysis.
• Ability to interpret commercial and financing documentation and identify issues that may affect transaction execution or bankability.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with experience preparing investment memos, presentations, or other decision-support materials.
• Proficiency in financial analysis techniques such as variance analysis, ad hoc analysis, and data-driven interpretation of project performance assumptions.
