Responsibilities

• Translate broad capital-raising objectives into executable financing plans, timelines, work streams, and counterparty strategies.
• Manage lenders, investors, advisors, counsel, and internal stakeholders across high-stakes transactions.
• Provide oversight on financial structuring, modeling, diligence, risk allocation, and transaction documentation.
• Make clear recommendations on financing strategy, counterparty selection, process design, and tradeoffs.
• Operate effectively in a small, high-impact team without relying on a large analyst or associate bench.

• Coach and develop more junior transaction professionals.

Requirements

• Experience across the full transaction lifecycle, including structuring, modeling oversight, lender or investor engagement, documentation, diligence, negotiation, and closing.
• Strong judgment across capital structure, counterparties, risk allocation, and financing process design.
• Bank training, ideally followed by a successful move into an in-house, principal, developer, infrastructure investment, or specialist advisory environment.
• Exposure to data centers, digital infrastructure, power, energy, infrastructure, or similarly capital-intensive sectors.
• Experience building financing processes or functions, rather than only operating within a mature platform.
