Project Finance Nyc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The AI infrastructure buildout is the largest capital deployment cycle since the Industrial Revolution. Hundreds of billions of dollars will flow into power and data center assets over the next decade, and Giga is building the financing playbooks that will define how this industry gets funded. This role puts you at the center of that - early.

As a Project Finance Associate, you will support capital formation across Giga's growing portfolio of power generation and data center assets. You'll work directly with senior leadership on live deal execution, build and own the financial models that go in front of lenders and investment committees, and get hands-on exposure to the full capital stack - from non-recourse debt and construction financing to tax equity and sponsor equity. You'll grow into a dealmaker by doing the work, not watching it.

This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays. That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs and expect to find this talent in NYC. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

• Support deal execution across the full project finance lifecycle - from initial underwriting and lender diligence to term sheet negotiation, closing, and post-close compliance.
• Own financial modeling - build and maintain project finance models from scratch, sculpt debt against complex cash flows, and stress-test assumptions ahead of credit committee and lender review.
• Assist in structuring capital solutions across the stack - senior debt, construction financing, tax equity, back-leverage, and holdco facilities - under the direction of senior team members.
• Prepare lender and investor-facing materials - information memoranda, financial presentations, project summaries, and credit narratives that tell Giga's story clearly and credibly.
• Support lender and investor relationship management - coordinate diligence requests, track open items, and maintain organized deal data rooms across active transactions.
• Drive internal financial infrastructure - help build and refine model templates, underwriting standards, reporting cadences, and lender compliance tracking systems as deal volume grows.
• Coordinate across legal, engineering, and operations on deal workstreams - manage timelines, consolidate inputs, and keep transactions moving.
• Stay current on market conditions - track financing trends, benchmark terms, and flag relevant developments in power, data center, and infrastructure finance markets.

• 2-5 years of experience in project finance, structured finance, infrastructure finance, or investment banking with meaningful exposure to infrastructure or energy assets.
• Strong financial modeling skills - comfortable building a project finance model from a blank spreadsheet and defending assumptions in front of senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with capital structure concepts across debt, equity, and tax equity - you understand how deals are layered and why structure matters.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational instincts - you can manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without things slipping.
• Clear written and verbal communication - you can translate complex financial concepts into clean, credible narratives for lenders and internal stakeholders.
• High agency and a builder's mindset - you're energized by early-stage environments and take ownership rather than waiting to be directed.

• Experience on infrastructure, energy, or data center financings - either on the buy side, sell side, or at a developer.
• Familiarity with ITC/PTC tax credit structures and Inflation Reduction Act transferability provisions.
• Background at an infrastructure-focused investment bank (Macquarie, Guggenheim, RBC, MUFG, KeyBanc) or infrastructure fund (Stonepeak, GIP, Brookfield, IFM).
• Exposure to equipment-level financing, sale-leaseback structures, or asset-backed lending.
• MBA, CFA, or graduate degree in a quantitative field - or actively pursuing one.
• Prior experience at a high-growth company - you know what it looks like when pace outstrips infrastructure, and you're energized by it.

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Unlimited PTO
• Parental leave
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Commuter benefits
