Senior Capital Formation Associate

Responsibilities

• Own investment underwriting across the US pipeline: deep model reviews, critical assumptions checks, stress testing, and extensive Monte Carlo and scenario sensitivities.
• Act as a quality‑control gate on investment analysis — validating model integrity, key value drivers, and downside cases before capital is committed.
• Prepare, review, and present IC memos that frame the thesis, risks, returns, and recommended structure for each opportunity.
• Act as a player‑coach to a fast‑developing analyst team — setting the bar for modeling and underwriting rigor, coaching juniors on technique, and quality‑checking their analytical output.
• Lead financing transactions end‑to‑end — diligence, structuring, negotiation, and execution through close — across project finance, tax equity, and debt.
• Build and pressure‑test institutional‑grade financial models across the platform’s asset classes — utility‑scale renewables, stand‑alone battery storage, behind‑the‑meter generation, and co‑located digital infrastructure for AI compute — spanning both development‑stage and operating assets.
• Translate technical, commercial, and market inputs into defensible underwriting assumptions and risk‑adjusted return expectations.
• Partner with the development, engineering, legal, and finance teams to diligence and de‑risk opportunities ahead of IC.
• Conduct market research on power market fundamentals, merchant curves, interest rate environments, and tax equity dynamics to inform underwriting.
• Play a key role in scaling the platform — building the underwriting frameworks, tools, and standards that hold up as deal volume grows.

• BA/BS degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related discipline; advanced degree or CFA a plus.
• Demonstrated ownership of investment underwriting — building and critically reviewing project finance models, debt sizing, and DSCR/LLCR analysis, and pressure‑testing key assumptions.
• Hands‑on experience with stress testing, scenario analysis, and Monte Carlo sensitivities.
• Experience preparing and presenting IC memos or equivalent investment recommendations to a senior audience.
• Track record of leading, or playing a lead role in, financing transactions through financial close.
• Player‑Coach Leadership:
  Sets the bar for modeling and underwriting rigor; coaches and quality‑checks a high‑potential analyst team without formal line authority and without micromanaging.
• Quality‑Control Mindset:
  Relentless attention to detail and personal accountability for accuracy — the instinct to find the one assumption that breaks the model before results reach the IC or investors.
• Autonomy & Ownership:
  Operates independently in a lean team where senior members work as individual contributors; structures own workload and delivers reliable output with no management layer reviewing the work.
• Cross‑Office
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Builds trusted day‑to‑day working relationships with the global team of Senior Analyst and Associate, keeping the cross‑border collaboration interface seamless and analytical standards consistent across locations.
• Process & Systems Thinking:
  Drive to automate and standardize — improving current tools and processes rather than working around them, as part of the team’s transformation.
• Executive & Investor Presence:
  Credible presenting at senior leadership level; comfortable managing interfaces with long‑term investors and existing shareholders on risk appetite, return thresholds, and portfolio strategy.
• Communication:
  Distills complex analysis into clear, concise, IC‑ready recommendations, both written and verbal.
• Problem‑Solving:
  Analyzes financial data, draws insights, and makes data‑driven decisions under time pressure.
• Urgency & Adaptability:
  Comfortable operating with pace and ownership in a fast‑scaling, multi‑GW, high‑growth environment.

• Short Term & Long Term Disability
