  • Drive deals through internal approval processes in coordination with senior leadership.
  • Represent the firm externally with developers, advisors, and market participants

Qualifications

  • 5–10+ years of experience in renewable energy acquisitions, origination, or developer-facing business development.
  • Established relationships with U.S. solar and storage developers.
  • Strong negotiation skills and commercial judgment.
  • Solid understanding of project economics and transaction structures, without needing to build models.
  • Experience with storage highly preferred.
  • Prior leadership or team management experience strongly preferred.
  • Must come from industry. This is not an entry-level or learning role.

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a PPA structuring or power trading role.
  • Not a financial modeling role.
  • Not a junior step-up position.

Reporting

This role will report to senior leadership (CIO or President) and play a critical role in scaling the firm’s origination capabilities.
