About TeraWatt Infrastructure
The once in a century technology transition from combustion engines to electricity for transport will require a multi-trillion dollar investment in energy and charging infrastructure, and real estate that accommodates these uses over the next decade. This transformation is rapidly accelerating, and TeraWatt is the leader in developing, financing, owning and operating the charging solutions and infrastructure that will change how goods and people move.
To facilitate this transition for clients, TeraWatt delivers end-to-end charging solutions, with the infrastructure to support it, at scale. Whether for a metro mobility hub, a last mile fleet operator, or long-haul electric trucking, TeraWatt brings the talent, capabilities, and capital to create reliable, cost-effective solutions for customers on the leading edge of the transition to zero carbon transport.
With a growing portfolio of properties currently spanning 18 states in key transportation corridors, logistics hubs, and metro centers, TeraWatt is building the permanent electric vehicle charging infrastructure of tomorrow through a robust combination of property assets, financing capabilities, and infrastructure and energy management solutions. We develop, finance, own, and operate charging solutions that take the cost and complexity out of electrifying fleets. With a business model based on well-established economics of renewable energy project development and a proven real estate strategy, TeraWatt was founded, in the absence of anything like it, to be the nation’s trusted and reliable, long-term partner in the inevitable transition to all-electric transportation. With the transition to electrification of transport imminent, now is the time to develop these assets.
At TeraWatt, we execute humbly and with urgency to provide energy and charging solutions that delight our clients and support the transition to clean, electrified transport.
Impact to Climate Change:
Transportation creates 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions each year. According to many experts, electrifying transportation is priority #1 to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and thus the impact to Climate Change. By electrifying fleets, we can mitigate more than 70% of mobility CO2 urban emissions, remove 50% of city air pollution, and help fleet operators meet Net Zero commitments.
Role Description
As a Finance Senior Analyst, you will be expected to analyze the financial feasibility of EV charging hub projects across multiple sectors and customer use cases. You will coordinate with the Finance org and Company leadership to incorporate cost estimates, energy and tariff structures, federal and state incentive information, and other critical assumptions into our financial models. You will manage budget forecasting and analysis, corporate financial reporting, and fund reporting under the direction of Finance leadership. You will play a critical role in both (1) the negotiation of deals with fleet customers and other partners on financial and pricing matters, and (2) the support of capital-raising activities for corporate activities, project development, operations, and M&A. You have a strong desire to support the Company's Finance department, including esoteric financings and business development efforts. Your ability to work both independently and as a member of a small but nimble team are critical, as well as your desire and innovative mindset to operate as a key contributor within a fast-paced, early-stage company.
