Strategic Finance Associates

Role Scope

• Build and own the financial models behind multi-billion-dollar data center projects, from unit economics per megawatt to full project finance and returns analysis.
• Support capital raises across equity and project debt by preparing the models, materials, and diligence responses lenders and investors require to underwrite gigawatt-scale builds.
• Partner with the commercial and development teams to price deals, stress-test assumptions, and pressure-check the economics of leases, colocation, and power commitments before they are signed.
• Build the forecasting and scenario analysis that ties the forward build pipeline to capital needs, so the company always knows its runway and funding requirements as it scales.
• Turn financial analysis into clear recommendations for the CEO and CFO on where to deploy capital and which deals clear the return threshold.

What We're Looking For

• You've built financial and operating models from scratch that leadership actually used to make capital allocation or investment decisions.
• You've worked on capital raises, project finance, or M&A where your analysis directly supported a transaction that closed.
• You've moved fast on ambiguous problems with incomplete data, delivering a defensible number under a deadline rather than waiting for perfect inputs.
• You catch flawed assumptions in a model before they reach a decision-maker, and you can explain in one sentence why a deal does or does not pencil.
• You write and present analysis clearly enough that a non-finance executive can act on it without a follow-up meeting.
• You've owned a recurring financial process (forecast, board reporting, scenario analysis) and made it faster and sharper each cycle.
• Bonus: Investment banking, private equity, or infrastructure finance background. Project finance or debt structuring experience. Data center, energy, or real assets exposure. Advanced modeling in Python or SQL.
