Job description

Director | Securitization | Solar | Renewable Energy | Capital Markets

The Green Recruitment Company is delighted to be retained by a leader in the global renewable energy sector, as they look to grow out their Project Finance team in California.

 

The company are highly regarded as an integrated solar company who design, develop, finance and operate renewable energy projects worldwide.

 

We are working with them to find a new Director, Project Finance to support the Residential Solar division. This role requires a heavy Structured Finance / Project Finance background who can lead, negotiate and execute complex transactions. The preference is for these individuals to be based locally, in the Richmond/East Bay Area, but there can be flexibility for the right candidate.

 

The Director, Project Finance will originate and lead project financings to support the Residential solar and storage business. This will include raising debt, equity, tax equity and loan funding capital to support continued growth of the business. A background in tax equity is preferred but not essential.

 

A candidate who has securitizations expertise would be a great fit for the role, as our client will begin their own securitisations from 2022. A good example of competitors specialising in these projects would be Sunnova, Loanpal or Sunlight Financial, who have all closed large residential solar securitizations.

 

This professional needs to have a clear track record of leading transactions, in particular Project Finance deals. This will likely be someone with a heavy structured finance experience, potentially from a leading bank or ratings agency.

 

It is essential this hire has a renewable energy, and project/structured finance background. Ideally 10 years+ experience within Project Finance, with a strong deal sheet, and ability to negotiate transactions documents and experienced in managing a team of younger Analysts.
