Job description

• Build, maintain, and improve project-level financial models (capex, opex, cash flows, IRR/NPV, sensitivities, scenarios).
• Develop business plans and multi-year projections for the company and for individual projects.
• Support commercial decisions (PPAs, offtake structures, pricing, contract terms) with quantitative analysis.
• Prepare materials for financing and investment decisions: model outputs, scenarios, and clear explanations for lenders/investors.
• Conduct research on markets, customers, competitors, and policy/incentive frameworks to feed into assumptions and strategy.
• Translate inputs from engineering, project management, permitting, and commercial into coherent economics.
• Produce clear memos, dashboards, and presentations for leadership, explaining what the numbers mean and what decisions they support.
• Help define and track key KPIs (project returns, LCOE, cash runway, capital efficiency, etc.).

Experience / Background:

• Roughly 4–8 years of experience, in project finance, corporate finance, FP&A, investment banking, or consulting; ideally in energy, infrastructure, renewables, or other capital-intensive sectors.
• Demonstrated experience building and owning DCF-style financial models (not just updating someone else’s).
• Exposure to business planning or budgeting, not only one-off deal modeling.
• Some experience doing market / commercial research (e.g., analyzing PPA markets, competitor projects, policy changes, customer segments).
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with assumptions, sensitivities, and scenarios.
• Ability to work closely with non-finance colleagues and translate technical or commercial information into financial terms.
