• Partner closely with Development and Project Finance on project economics and capital requirements.
• Oversee outsourced accounting and review financial statements and reporting.
• Build and improve finance systems, processes, reporting, and controls as the company scales.
• Requirements
• 10+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally across FP&A, corporate finance, or development finance.
• Direct experience within a utility-scale renewable developer, IPP, power company, or similar infrastructure business.
• Strong experience with development budgeting, capital planning, project-spend forecasting, and capital allocation.
• Experience with treasury, liquidity forecasting, and capital calls.
• Solid accounting foundation with the ability to oversee U.S. GAAP reporting and external accounting providers.
• Experience working with Development, Project Finance, and senior leadership.
