About Generate Capital

Generate Capital is a leading independent power producer and infrastructure investment firm focused on distributed generation and renewable energy solutions. The company specializes in developing, financing, and operating clean energy assets, with a particular emphasis on community solar programs and other distributed generation technologies that serve residential and commercial customers. Generate Capital’s platform encompasses project development, construction, financing, and long-term asset management across multiple renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure sectors.

The firm works with a diverse range of stakeholders, including tax equity investors, debt lenders, commercial partners, and government entities to structure and execute complex project financings. The company’s business model involves originating projects, securing necessary financing through various instruments including construction debt, permanent debt, and tax equity arrangements, and then managing these assets throughout their operational lives. The company operates with a focus on capital efficiency and investment returns, maintaining strong relationships with financial institutions and tax equity funds.

Generate Capital’s distributed generation portfolio, particularly its Community Solar program, represents a significant portion of its current operations and growth strategy. The organization emphasizes operational excellence, cross-functional collaboration, and the development of scalable processes to support portfolio growth and expansion of its renewable energy platform.

Generate Capital is seeking a Director of Portfolio Finance to lead the operational project finance function for the company’s distributed generation portfolio. This role represents a significant leadership opportunity for an experienced senior manager ready to step up and grow with the portfolio as Generate expands its power platform. The Portfolio Finance team is responsible for the daily execution and tranching of projects into tax equity and debt facilities.

The new Director will serve as the operational project finance leader, supporting origination and diligence of project financing facilities, owning post-origination financing milestone execution across construction debt, permanent debt, tax equity, and incentive monetization. This includes owning financing models, forecasts, and KPIs prior to handoff into operations. The Director will partner across Investments, Project Delivery, Technical and Commercial Asset Management, and Finance, including Structured Finance, Treasury, FP&A, and Accounting, to improve capital efficiency, investment returns, and cash generation.

This function has strong execution requirements and needs a leader to see patterns across funds and counter parties. The portfolio finance function serves not merely as a financing execution force, but also as the commercial arm of asset management for many pre-operational decisions. The Director will lead a team, including a Manager with Analyst and Associate resources. In partnership with the Structured Finance team, the Director will help maintain tax equity and debt relationships and lead the structuring, sizing, and modeling behind all three financing instruments.

The role initially focuses primarily on the Community Solar program and offers significant potential for growth as Generate expands its power platform.
