Job description

Overview

For every project entering Powertown's pipeline, ensure the economics work for Powertown, our members, and our capital partners. You will own the financial models that determine project viability, pricing, capital returns, and long-term profitability, and translate them into compelling financial products for the customer. As real projects are deployed, you will constantly test assumptions against operating data, refining how we install and price projects.

This role is uniquely creative. You will derive and execute a capitalization strategy for Powertown as we aim to solidify a first-mover advantage in the industrial battery market. The role includes the opportunity to become Powertown's long-term financial leader and ultimately CFO, leading the financial engine behind hundreds of deployments across a number of states.
