Spencer Ogden
Overview
We are partnered with a fast-growing, U.S.-based Independent Power Producer (IPP) backed by a long-term infrastructure investor. The company focuses exclusively on the development, ownership, and operation of utility-scale renewable energy projects - including solar and storage - across North America. With several gigawatts in the pipeline and a leadership team composed of seasoned industry professionals, the business is scaling rapidly and building internal financing capabilities to support ongoing growth. This newly created position is a high-impact opportunity for a Senior Project Finance professional to lead the execution of tax equity and debt transactions for utility-scale solar and storage assets. You’ll play a key role in building the company’s internal financing function and will work directly with the executive leadership team to scale the business. Responsibilities
Lead full-cycle project financing transactions—structuring, negotiating, and closing tax equity, construction debt, and back-leverage for utility-scale assets. Own the financing process end-to-end: partner engagement, diligence, documentation, modeling, internal approvals, and closing. Develop and implement internal project finance infrastructure, including processes, tools, and reporting. Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams (development, legal, engineering) to ensure bankability and optimize capital stack. Represent the company with financing partners, demonstrating polish and leadership in high-stakes conversations. Stay on top of market trends, IRA-related financing structures (e.g., PTC, ITC, transferability), and capital provider dynamics. Candidate Profile – Priority Requirements
Proven Deal Execution:
Closed at least one tax equity and one debt/equity financing for utility-scale projects; significant involvement from origination to close. Strategic Builder:
Experience creating financing processes and structures from the ground up, ideally in a scaling business or new platform. Project Finance Expertise:
5–8+ years of experience in renewable energy or infrastructure project finance, with strong utility-scale solar exposure. Institutional Background:
Time spent at a major IPP, investment platform, or infrastructure fund; brings best practices and a solutions-oriented mindset. Executive Communication:
Comfortable leading conversations with external investors, lenders, and internal leadership; confident and credible under pressure. Culture Fit:
Professional, collaborative, and excited to contribute in a lean, entrepreneurial environment. Why Join?
Be a core contributor to the scaling of a top-tier renewable IPP with long-term capital and vision. Direct exposure to executive leadership and decision-making across the business. High degree of ownership, autonomy, and impact. Competitive compensation and a mission-driven, high-performance culture. How to Apply
