Job description

Our client, a privately held infrastructure developer, has created a new role to bring its capital modeling in-house.

This is the person who builds the models, ties them to the company's own numbers, and owns them from here.

IS THIS JOB FOR YOU?

• You want deal work without deal-shop hours.
• You have built multi-tab models from scratch and can defend every assumption when a lender pushes back.
• You can open someone else's model and find what is wrong with it.
• You want to have a voice beyond the spreadsheet to ask insight questions and make connections to drive better decisions.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• 25-year project-level cash flow models. Individual projects run $100M+ in capital.
• One consolidated model rolling up 20+ legal entities, used with lenders, equity investors, and the board.
• The financing layer: debt sizing, tax equity, tax credit sales, and construction financing.
• IRR and cost of capital analysis that prices long-term contracts and decides build versus buy.
• Rebuilding the inherited model so inputs and outputs tie to the company's actual financials.
• Same-day return analysis for the President when project assumptions move.
• Pressure-testing models built by bankers, lenders, and counterparties.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 4 to 6 years in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or corporate FP&A
• Advanced modeling. Builds from scratch and audits other people's work
• Debt financing exposure: sizing, structuring, or covenant and compliance work
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field

NICE TO HAVES

• Energy, infrastructure, or development industry background
• Project finance exposure

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY

• Four capital workstreams live now: an equity raise, a debt raise, construction financing, and tax equity.
• Direct access to the President, who is the owner. No layers, and you own the model.
• Real Work Life Balance with expected periods of peak work
• Assets are contracted long term to large corporate and utility buyers.
• Small company, real scale. Get in before the function is built.
• Leadership is strategic and big picture. They want someone who will ask "did you consider this," not someone who defers.

COMPENSATION

• Location: Omaha, NE. Onsite 3 to 4 days a week. Candidates relocating to Omaha will be considered
• Compensation will be based on years of experience and relevance to industry
