Chief Financial Officer

About the Role
Soleos Energy Limited is seeking an accomplished Chief Financial Officer to lead the company’s finance function as it scales across renewable-energy EPC, IPP and group-captive projects, international markets, BESS and emerging clean-energy businesses.

The CFO will play a central role in shaping the company’s financial strategy, treasury architecture, project finance, capital allocation, fundraising, institutional governance and capital-market readiness. The successful candidate will work closely with the Managing Director, Board, banks, investors, rating agencies, auditors, merchant bankers and other professional advisers.

Why Soleos
Soleos is an integrated renewable-energy platform: EPC, IPP and group-captive projects, BESS manufacturing and international markets sit under one roof, which is rare among Indian mid-market renewable companies and gives leaders a wider field of play than a single-line business.

The company is promoter-led and entrepreneurial. Decisions are taken quickly, leaders work directly with the Managing Director and Board, and the distance between a recommendation and its execution is short.

Soleos is at the stage where institutional systems are being built rather than inherited. The people who join now will define how the company finances, sells and governs itself for the next decade, and will carry that authorship into the company’s capital-market journey.

Ahmedabad places the company at the centre of Gujarat’s renewable-energy and manufacturing corridor, with proximity to ports, policy, developers and industrial customers.
