Senior Finance Associate
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Finance Associate to join our Energy BD Finance group in San Francisco. In this role, you'll be part of the core team that owns the commercial finance function for our energy storage business — building and maintaining project finance models and supporting the end-to-end deal development, approval, and financing processes.
What You'll Do
Project Finance Modeling: Build and maintain sophisticated project finance models for large-scale energy storage deployments, including scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, IRR/NPV outputs, and investor-ready presentations.
Deal Flow Support: Partner with Business Development to support the full deal lifecycle — from initial screening and term sheet evaluation to contract negotiation — providing financial analysis and recommendations at each stage.
Deal Approvals: Own the financial diligence and approval package for new energy storage transactions, structuring analysis that clearly frames risk, return, and strategic fit for executive and cross-functional review.
Pricing & Commercial Strategy: Develop pricing frameworks that reflect true cost-to-serve and target returns, and partner with sales and BD to stress-test deal economics before commitment.
What You'll Bring
4–7 years of experience in renewables project finance with significant deal-facing responsibilities
Exceptional financial modeling skills — comfortable building complex, multi-scenario models from scratch in Excel
Ability to structure ambiguous commercial situations into clear financial frameworks that drive decisions
Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience distilling complex analyses for executive and investor audiences
Self-starter mentality with high ownership and the ability to manage multiple live deal processes simultaneously
Preferred Qualifications
Undergraduate or professional background in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
Direct experience in energy storage, battery systems, or renewable energy project development and finance
Familiarity with tax equity structures, ITC qualification, and government incentive programs relevant to clean energy
