About the role
We're looking for a structured finance professional to serve as a technical execution engine for a lean, high-impact capital markets team. In this role, you'll own the models, analysis, diligence, process management, and key execution workstreams behind standardized or more 'vanilla' financings, while partnering with senior transactors on more complex transactions.
Responsibilities
- Translate financing objectives into clear analyses, recommendations, timelines, and deliverables.
- Support senior transactors on complex financings, including structuring, documentation, diligence, negotiation, and closing.
- Lead analysis, diligence, process tracking, and execution workstreams for financing transactions.
- Own transaction models, including debt sizing, cash-flow waterfalls, sensitivities, covenant analysis, and scenario evaluation.
- Work directly with internal stakeholders, banks, investors, counsel, advisors, and other counterparties.
- Review transaction documentation and help ensure commercial, financial, and diligence details are reflected accurately.
- Manage high-volume, detail-intensive workstreams in a lean team environment.
- Help develop repeatable tools, processes, and analytical infrastructure as the capital markets function scales.
Requirements
- At least 4-6 years of directly relevant experience in project finance, structured finance, infrastructure finance, private equity, or a closely related field.
- Deep financial modeling capability, including debt sizing, cash-flow waterfalls, sensitivities, covenant analysis, and scenario evaluation.
- Meaningful involvement in financings that reached close, with a clear understanding of process, diligence, and documentation.
- Experience at a bank, private equity or infrastructure investment firm, data center developer, infrastructure operator, or specialist advisory firm.
- The ability to own workstreams independently, rather than only producing analysis on instruction.
- Strong attention to detail and comfort operating in high-intensity transaction environments.
- The maturity to interact directly with senior internal stakeholders and external counterparties.
- Training under a well-regarded infrastructure or project finance group, platform, or senior leader.
- Exposure to more than one financing product or capital source.
- Experience in data centers, digital infrastructure, power, energy transition, or other capital-intensive infrastructure sectors.
- Strong learning velocity and willingness to work without rigid role boundaries.
- Willingness to work from San Francisco.
