• Monitor and analyze market trends, financing structures, and investor activity across renewable energy capital markets, preparing internal materials to support PPA origination, tax credit monetization, M&A opportunities, and other capital deployment decisions.
• Prepare presentations, transaction summaries, and internal approval materials used by senior management, investment committees, and financing counterparties to support utility-scale project decision-making.

What you’ll bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, Accounting, or a related field or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience.
• 2+ years of relevant experience in renewable energy, project finance, development finance, capital markets, investment banking, consulting, or a related analytical role.
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint with strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret project economics and support scenario analysis.
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with attention to detail and ability to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines while working in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to gather, synthesize, and clearly communicate project-level information through presentations, memos, and approval materials that support diligence, reporting, and decision-making.
• Experience supporting financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, or valuation work, preferably in energy or infrastructure.
• Exposure to utility-scale solar, storage, or broader renewable energy development is preferred.
• Familiarity with project finance concepts, including debt, tax equity, tax credit transfer, or other structured financing solutions, is preferred.
• Experience supporting due diligence, transaction execution, or management of financing or investment processes is a plus.
