Responsibilities

• Evaluate financing structures for our products: understand cash flow waterfalls, customer contracts, residual value, tax equity , and how our partners make money.
• Pull apart the unit economics of our hardware and software solutions, and tell us plainly which levers move margin and which don't.
• Evaluate strategic partnerships (including potential acquisitions) end-to-end -market sizing, diligence, valuation, and the recommendation that follows.
• Prepare board, investor, and lender materials, and present your own work to senior audiences.
• Build simple internal tools and dashboards with AI so the whole team can answer recurring questions without waiting on a model.
• Own Finance’s relationship with our Markets and Data Science teams, using our proprietary data to help make commercial decision.
