Project Finance Associate

Who we are looking for:
We are looking for an entrepreneurial Associate to join the growing Business Development team at kWh Analytics. The BD team is focused on identifying and executing on opportunities to use specialty credit enhancement products, including the Solar Revenue Put, the Solar Advance, and the next generation of proprietary risk transfer instruments to help lower the cost of capital for the energy transition. Our products have supported the financing of over >$3 billion of solar assets. 
As a Project Finance Associate, you will support project modeling, due diligence and transaction closings. You will report to the Project Finance Manager, work closely with the business development team, and be responsible for the coordination of all financial and commercial activities related to originating and closing Solar Revenue Put transactions. Responsibilities also include structuring and closing transactions.

What you can look forward to:

• Help clients win: We improve equity IRRs at a time of intense competition for renewable energy assets
• Manage “hockey stick” growth by building new processes that scale
• Structuring & closing innovative multi-million dollar transactions
• Opportunity to support and lead transaction origination
• Working with a team of experienced solar veterans committed to helping you succeed
• Learning firsthand the critical intersection of how solar attracts money
• Solving a critical problem that has hindered the solar industry since its inception
• Develop and maintain a knowledge base of current trends, activities, and changes within the industry at large
• An equity stake in the company, via incentive stock options
• A wide variety of medical, dental, and vision plans. 401(k), HSA, FSA and corporate discounts

What you likely need to do the job well:

• Client-facing experience. You have some client-facing experience in your background in business development, client service, consulting, investment banking or project development.
• Fluency in finance or accounting. You can solve problems in real-time with our clients: senior finance executives. You are comfortable with mental math and jumping into spreadsheets.
• Experience with Financial Models: You can maintain and update Excel models for internal and client-facing financial analyses.
• Ability to create presentations for important stakeholders: You can consolidate large amounts of information and complex analyses into easily digestible PowerPoint slides.
• A thinker and a doer: You can hold multiple stakeholders’ perspectives in your head, devise a solution, and then rapidly build consensus around that solution.
• Attention to detail. You care deeply about making sure that each deal is done right, and may have even seen what happens when details are missed.
• Operating in an entrepreneurial environment: You enjoy “building the plane while you’re flying it” and will go the extra mile to figure things out
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves. We are a start-up and need people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty (like firing up Excel to test a pro forma or picking up a phone to call someone you don’t already know)
