Job description
Corporate Development Associate, Structured Finance
Salary range: $150,000.00/yr - $220,000.00/yr
Location: Requires presence in San Francisco / San Jose office 4 days per week (work‑from‑home day is Tuesday).
The Role
We’re seeking a high‑caliber finance professional to join our Corporate Development team as an associate focused on capital formation and strategic transactions. This is a critical role focused on the execution of Lambda’s project financings and partnerships. You will be responsible for executing multi‑billion‑dollar GPU and data center funding strategies as well as supporting Lambda’s strategic investments in the AI infrastructure market. You’ll work closely with the CFO, Head of Corporate Development & Capital Markets, as well as external counterparties (banks, credit funds, advisors, legal counsel, etc.) to ensure Lambda’s rapid expansion.
What You’ll Do
Model, execute, and present on complex financing structures, including: Asset‑backed loans (ABL / ABS)
SPVs and bankruptcy‑remote entities
Secured and unsecured term loans and revolvers
Receivable purchase facilities (RFP) and warehouse facilities
HY bonds, public convertible notes, etc.
Hybrid/equity‑linked instruments
Support deal structuring and recommend solutions to the executive team
Interface with lenders, bankers, advisors, strategic partners, and founders
Own deal‑level financial models including cash flow waterfalls, merger models, and potential investment return models
Prepare board‑facing materials and analysis to support transaction decisions
While this is primarily a Capital Markets focused role, candidates should also demonstrate the ability to evaluate M&A and strategic investment opportunities in the AI Infrastructure market
Qualifications
2‑4 years of experience in investment banking, specifically focused on digital infrastructure, debt capital markets, or structured products roles
Expertise in project finance, including the design and execution of complex secured and unsecured debt transactions
Fundamental understanding of legal entity structuring, intercompany dynamics, and credit risk mitigation techniques
Experience supporting credit agreement negotiation and managing due diligence for multi‑party financing transactions
Exceptional modeling, communication, and project management skills
Self‑starter who thrives on solving problems directly, not delegating them—willing to go deep into documentation, models, and deal mechanics
Experience in capital‑intensive industries (data centers, infrastructure, cloud, semis, telecom, renewables, etc.) preferred
Benefits
Founded in 2012, ~400 employees (2025) and growing fast
Generous cash & equity compensation
Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
Wellness and commuter stipends for select roles
401(k) Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)
Flexible paid time‑off plan that we all actually use
