  • Monitor late-stage and operational project financials, identifying risks and proposing mitigants
  • Track market trends, policy developments, and valuation benchmarks relevant to solar and BESS financing

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in renewable energy project finance, investment banking, corporate development, or M&A, with direct exposure to solar and/or BESS
  • Advanced Excel modeling skills, including project cash flows, scenario/sensitivity analysis, and valuation frameworks
  • Familiarity with tax equity structures (e.g., partnership flip) and renewable energy financing mechanics
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analyses into actionable insights
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams under tight timelines with precision
  • Proactive, collaborative approach with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • The candidate must be based in San Francisco, Miami, or New York City
