Lieef
Lieef is a next-generation private markets investment platform, rooted in the elite, small-team discipline of Goldman Sachs’ principal investing strategies — rigorous, opportunistic, and unafraid of complexity. We blend the durability of infrastructure with the agility of private equity, creating and executing deals from scratch in
energy, water, waste, and fuels
— multi-trillion-dollar global markets that form the essential systems powering and sustaining the economy for the next 50 years. While our mandate spans multiple sectors,
this role is designed for someone with deep experience in solar, battery storage, and microgrids
— someone who can originate and lead complex renewable energy transactions, while gaining exposure to platform-level investments and adjacent infrastructure opportunities. This is a lean, highly selective environment — every hire is central to our growth. **Must be located within driving distance to Irvine CA** What You’ll Do Lead renewable energy deals end-to-end: sourcing, diligence, execution, financing, and post-close value creation. Manage technical diligence processes with independent engineers, environmental consultants, and other specialist advisors. Structure and negotiate
tax equity, project debt, and hybrid financing arrangements
for solar, battery storage, and microgrid assets. Build strong relationships with developers, operators, strategic partners, and capital providers. Work directly with the founder — no bureaucracy, real responsibility. Gain broader experience across platform investing and other infrastructure verticals beyond renewables. Operate where others can’t or won’t, turning overlooked markets into advantage. What We’re Looking For Builders with an ownership mindset. High-conviction operators who thrive in ambiguity. Deep transactional experience in
solar, battery storage, and/or microgrid projects . Proven ability in corporate and project finance — including tax equity modeling and structuring. Self-directed executors who move fast and own outcomes. What We’re Not Looking For Consensus-seekers, prestige-chasers, or those treating this as a short stop to gain experience before moving on. People viewing this purely through a traditional PE lens — expecting rigid playbooks or narrow scope. Those unwilling to take full ownership — and be recognized for — the results they deliver. Here, your work will always be visible and valued. How You’ll Be Rewarded Competitive base salary for stability. Significant upside via cash bonuses, carry, and potential participation in management company economics — all tied directly to value you create. No cap on upside. Why Join Lieef Here, you’re not just working in a business — you’re helping build it. If you want your fingerprints on deals that last, and have the conviction, creativity, and discipline to match, we should talk.
