Job description

About this position

Pacifico Energy develops, finances, builds, and operates energy infrastructure that powers businesses and communities. In the U.S., we are tackling one of the biggest challenges facing AI and large-scale data centers: access to reliable power. Our private grids bring dedicated generation and energy storage directly to customers, helping projects move forward without waiting for traditional utility connections. We draw on Pacifico Energy Group’s experience across the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, spanning solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas. Joining Pacifico means helping turn ambitious energy projects into operating infrastructure, with work that connects directly to the people and businesses building the future of AI.

We are building out the Strategy function needed to capitalize on the tremendous power demand and opportunity serviced by its pipeline of multi-gigawatt power projects. Reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, the Senior Manager of Strategic Finance is a hands-on execution leader spanning strategic transactions, development support, capital raising, investment processes, strategic outlook and policy impacts.

In the near-term, the role will stand up intercompany structures and transactions supporting existing and future developments and support the capital markets team with priority financing of near-term developments. Over time it broadens into strategic initiatives positioning the Company to service power demand for the fast-changing AI landscape and establish investment processes to support the rapid expansion of the overall Company. It is a build-and-execute seat with clear room to grow as the platform scales.

What you get to do:

• Support the structuring and stand-up of the turbine leasing subsidiary (to hold temporary turbines outside the project company), working closely with the development and operations teams and external advisors.
• Partner with the capital markets team to support the Company's active financings, alongside advisors and lending partners.
• Partner with the development team to understand the project pipeline and provide financing, structuring, and analytical support as new projects advance toward contracting.
• Establish and run an institutional investment process for onboarding new debt and equity capital partners — governance, reporting cadence, capital-approval framework, and project-level reporting that outside investors will expect as the Company scales.
• Execute JV, intercompany, and strategic transactions, including project M&A / sales and co-investment structures.
• Build, audit, and maintain project finance models, translating development, procurement, and construction milestones into materials reviewed by the Company board and capital partners.
• Grow into broader strategic responsibilities over time — strategic outlook, policy-impact analysis, and an expanding mandate alongside the CSO.

What you bring to the role:

• ~5–7+ years of experience, the majority in power / energy finance.
• Strong finance foundation with an understanding of non-recourse debt, lender processes, and financial modeling.
• Exposure to the equity and structuring side: tax equity, JV / co-investment structures, and preparation of investor materials and data rooms.
• A desire and aptitude to expand beyond transactional financing into structuring, investments, and strategy.
• Experience in growing companies — comfortable being hands-on, building process from scratch, and wearing multiple hats.
• Strong communication and presentation skills; mature, collaborative, and self-directed.
• Dallas-based and committed to an in-office working environment.
