  • Represent the company in financing discussions, investor meetings, and industry conferences.
  • Conduct financial analysis on potential and ongoing projects to ensure profitability and risk mitigation.
  • Monitor financial performance metrics, market trends, and industry regulations that impact project financing.
  • Work with internal teams to optimize project costs, pricing structures, and financing mechanisms.

  • 10+ years of experience in project finance, investment banking, or financial structuring, with a focus on renewable energy.
  • Proven track record of successfully closing financing deals for solar, wind, or other renewable energy projects.
  • Strong understanding of tax equity financing, debt structuring, and PPA negotiations.
  • Proficiency in financial modeling, risk assessment, and investment analysis.
  • Knowledge of federal and state renewable energy incentives, regulatory policies, and market dynamics.
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and leadership skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) or Renewable Energy Developers.
  • Understanding of tax equity structures such as ITC (Investment Tax Credit) and PTC (Production Tax Credit).
  • Familiarity with green bonds, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) financing, and impact investing.
  • Experience working with international renewable energy projects (if applicable).
