Responsibilities
- Lead financing execution — Own workstreams across high-yield bond issuances, senior secured term loans, and equipment / project finance facilities.
- Drive term sheet negotiations, manage lender and counsel relationships, and coordinate documentation through close.
- Structure credit support arrangements — Analyze, negotiate, and document guarantees, credit wraps, off-take agreements, and other investment-grade backstop structures.
- Understand how these instruments affect debt sizing, covenant mechanics, and investor / lender underwriting.
- Drive financial modeling — Build and own transaction models covering debt sizing, DSCR waterfalls, restricted payment mechanics, levered/unlevered returns, and multi-scenario sensitivities.
- Be the team's primary check on model integrity across live transactions.
- Lead counterparty and legal coordination — Manage external counsel, financial advisors, and counterparty working groups. Track open legal and commercial issues, flag risks to senior leadership, and push resolutions forward on deal timelines.
- Design and stress-test capital structures — Evaluate HoldCo / OpCo / PropCo structuring, cross-collateralization provisions, cross-default mechanics, and intercreditor arrangements. Work with legal to translate structural decisions into documentation.
- Support equity-linked and warrant structuring — Analyze and help negotiate warrant agreements, equity co-invest structures, and other instruments issued in connection with strategic credit support or partnership arrangements.

- Partner cross-functionally across the business — Work closely with development, power, site selection, legal, and technology teams to gather inputs for financial analyses, pressure-test commercial assumptions, and ensure financing structures are grounded in operational reality. Translate complex capital markets concepts for non-finance stakeholders and help the broader team understand how financing decisions affect project outcomes.
- Build organizational execution expertise — Develop internal frameworks, playbooks, and reference materials that codify deal learnings and improve execution consistency over time.

- Familiarity with warrant agreements, equity co-invest structures, or other equity-linked instruments issued alongside credit facilities or strategic arrangements.
