About the Company

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.

Sodium-Ion is cheap, readily available and safe, making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.

Our leadership team is powered by decades of expertise in scaling gigawatt-level innovation at world-class companies such as Tesla, Northvolt, Apple, Powin, Enovix, Zipline, Solid Power, and Fluence. We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.

We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.

About the Job - Project Finance Manager

You will own the project-level financial models that underpin investment decisions, financing negotiations, and partnership economics across Peak Energy's portfolio. This is a hands-on role where your models will be used in real transactions—not shelved. You'll work directly with the Chief Strategy Officer and CEO, and your work product will be seen by institutional investors, strategic partners, tax credit buyers, and lenders.

This is a high-impact role where your models directly shape strategy and capital allocation. You'll work with an experienced team that has deep domain expertise in energy storage and project finance. This is a ground-floor opportunity at a company positioned at the intersection of two major trends: the energy storage buildout and the commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

• Build and maintain project pro formas from early development through COD: revenue forecasts (capacity payments, energy arbitrage, ancillary services, resource adequacy), CapEx/OpEx assumptions, degradation and augmentation schedules, and terminal value.
• Model capital structures including tax equity (partnership flip, direct pay, transfer), preferred equity facilities, and project-level debt. Build waterfall distributions across complex multi-party structures.
• Support acquisition evaluation—take interconnection data, permitting status, offtake terms, and chemistry conversion assumptions and produce actionable go/no-go acquisition models on tight timelines.
• Analyze IRA incentive structures: ITC adders (energy community, domestic content), direct pay vs. transfer economics, and bonus credit qualification.
• Model CAISO market dynamics: tolling structures, merchant exposure, RA contract value, and curtailment scenarios relevant to sodium-ion's positioning vs. lithium-ion.
• Prepare investor-facing outputs—clean, auditable models and summary materials for institutional capital partners, lenders, and insurance underwriters.
• Develop sensitivity and scenario analyses that articulate risk around a chemistry (sodium-ion) with a thinner bankable track record than lithium.

What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

• 5–7 years in renewable energy or storage project finance—at a developer, IPP, infrastructure fund, or advisory firm.
• Demonstrated experience building project finance models that have been through investor or lender diligence (not just internal screening).
• Strong command of ITC/PTC mechanics post-IRA, including tax equity structures.
• Advanced Excel modeling skills; comfort with Python or similar for scenario automation and data analysis is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with CAISO markets, interconnection processes, or California regulatory landscape preferred.
• Ability to communicate model assumptions and outputs clearly to non-financial stakeholders and external counterparties.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with battery energy storage projects specifically (any chemistry).
• Exposure to project acquisition diligence or M&A in the energy space.
• Familiarity with tax credit insurance, transfer markets, or emerging IRA compliance guidance.
