Job Description
We’re running a confidential, exclusive search for a well-capitalised renewable energy investment platform with a substantial operating and tax equity portfolio. This is a rare seat for someone who wants to stay close to the actual work: modeling, structuring, transacting, optimising, and influencing investment decisions. The platform combines long-term capital, meaningful operating exposure, and a mandate to pursue complex investment opportunities across the US renewables market. Unlike a narrow portfolio monitoring role, this person will be involved in the decisions that shape value: amendments, restructurings, ownership transitions, exits, new investments, and strategic opportunities. It is a technical role, but not a back-office one. The right person will have real autonomy, senior exposure, and direct involvement in commercial discussions. The Role The Investment Lead will own financial analysis and modeling across a significant renewable energy investment portfolio. Responsibilities span three areas: Portfolio Strategy — Support the commercial and financial management of existing renewable energy investments. Evaluate portfolio optimisation opportunities, amendments, restructurings, ownership transitions, exits, and other value-creation initiatives across operating assets. Transactions — Own complex project finance and tax equity models from initial review through execution. Coordinate diligence inputs across internal and external stakeholders, support commercial negotiations, and work closely with counsel on transaction documentation. New Investments — Evaluate strategic investment opportunities across renewable energy platforms, projects, and structured finance transactions. Build investment cases, assess risk-adjusted returns, and recommend pricing, structure, and execution strategy to senior leadership. This is more than a modeling seat. The person will be close to senior decision-makers, sponsor conversations, investment committee discussions, and live transaction execution. Real autonomy, real ownership, real transaction exposure. What We’re Looking For Required Senior-level experience in renewable energy finance, project finance, structured finance, or investment analysis Hands-on experience building and owning complex renewable energy financial models Working knowledge of tax equity, partnership structures, and renewable energy tax credits Experience evaluating operating projects, transaction structures, and risk-adjusted returns Strong Excel and financial modeling capability Ability to turn technical analysis into clear commercial recommendations for senior stakeholders Preferred CPA, CFA, MBA, or equivalent technical finance background Experience across acquisitions, dispositions, restructurings, amendments, or structured investments Exposure to operating renewable assets, including offtake, revenue contracts, O&M, or project-level commercial mechanics Familiarity with the evolving US tax credit market
