Job description

Antora Energy delivers affordable, reliable energy to industry, data centers, and the grid. Our thermal batteries turn low-cost electricity into always-on heat and power, without supply-constrained critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.
We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and work with humility and openness. We are committed to building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.
Position Summary
Antora's Project Finance team sits at the center of turning a rapidly expanding commercial pipeline into financed, executed projects. We're looking for a project finance professional to join a small, high-leverage team and own the economic analysis and underwriting behind this growing deal pipeline.
You'll bring 3+ years of project finance experience and the judgment to hit the ground running, underwriting complex energy and infrastructure deals, partnering with commercial development teams across verticals, and helping build the standardized tools and processes that let Antora underwrite consistently as we scale. Over time, you'll grow into leading project financing yourself.
Roles & Responsibilities
  • Build, maintain, and stress-test project-level financial models across Antora's commercial development verticals.
  • Own economic analysis and underwriting for an active and growing pipeline, providing critical modeling bandwidth to the Project Finance team.
  • Partner closely with commercial development, policy, strategy, and power-supply teams to standardize how projects are underwritten and ensure market learnings flow back into deal structuring.
  • Develop templatized models and screening tools for the commercial teams, and train developers to use them effectively for early-stage evaluation.
  • Support the investment-committee process, providing structured financial guidance as projects mature from early screening to signed term sheets and beyond.
  • Contribute to the broader capital-raise effort as Antora builds repeatable financing facilities with preferred investors.
  • Grow toward independently leading due diligence and negotiation on project financings over time.

Key Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in project finance, energy/infrastructure finance, infrastructure investing, or a development-side finance role.
  • Demonstrated mastery of project-level financial modeling; building models from scratch and using them to drive real decisions.
  • Strong grasp of how commercial contracts, offtake agreements, and financing structures shape project economics.
  • Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment full of innovative deals.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication; able to advise and enable non-finance partners.
  • A real passion for analytical and underwriting work; and the ability to teach it.

Additional Qualifications Desired
  • Direct experience underwriting energy projects
  • Background in or exposure to project development, giving you an operator's instinct for how deals actually come together.
  • Experience building analytical tools/templates adopted by non-finance teams.
  • International project experience
  • Comfort designing or improving repeatable processes (e.g., investment-committee frameworks, underwriting standards).
