Job description

The role
Our client is hiring a VP / Principal to build and lead its project finance and capital solutions business from the ground up. You'll work directly with the founders and shape how the company develops its next generation of financial products. This is an entrepreneurial seat for someone who wants to build a function, not inherit one. You'll originate, structure, and execute transactions across the capital stack, drawing on your own relationships and an established developer network.
The background is deliberately open. Candidates from project finance, structured finance, investment banking, infrastructure investing, or development finance are welcome, provided they have meaningful clean energy experience.

Originate opportunities through existing relationships and build new ones across developers, lenders, investors, tax equity providers, and other capital partners
Structure and execute project debt, construction financing, bridge financing, tax equity, preferred equity, and other structured capital
Lead underwriting, transaction structuring, diligence, negotiation, and execution
Expand existing client relationships into additional financing products
Partner with the tax credit team to find opportunities across transactions
Give senior-level guidance on transaction risk, structuring, and capital markets
Work with product and engineering to turn transaction workflows into technology improvements
Help build the strategy, processes, and team needed to scale the business line
What we're looking for
Significant experience in project finance, structured finance, investment banking, infrastructure investing, development finance, or a related discipline
Meaningful clean energy, renewable energy, or energy infrastructure experience, with a strong grasp of the clean energy capital stack
A track record of originating, structuring, and executing transactions
Project debt or construction financing experience strongly preferred
Exposure to tax equity, preferred equity, bridge financing, or other structured capital preferred
A network across clean energy developers, lenders, investors, or other capital providers
Strong financial modeling, underwriting, and execution skills
Ability to work with senior counterparties and clients
An entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable operating independently in a lean, fast-moving organization

Experience managing or executing renewable energy tax credit transactions is highly valued, but candidates with broader project or structured finance backgrounds will be considered.
Why this role
Own the development of a new business line at a pivotal point in the company's growth
Work directly with the founders on strategy
Leverage an established developer network and work across multiple areas of the capital stack
Influence the product and technology roadmap and help shape future hiring
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), FSA and commuter benefits, and 29 paid holidays
