- Build and maintain data rooms, diligence trackers, and Q&A logs; coordinate internal and external advisors.
- Own project finance models and portfolio models for DER assets (battery storage, solar, CHP, microgrids, DR portfolios), including revenue stacking (energy/capacity/ancillary), curtailment, degradation, merchant vs. contracted scenarios, and capital structure optimization.
- Develop valuation analyses (DCF, comparables, precedent transactions, LBO-style cases where relevant); run Monte Carlo/scenario/sensitivity to support risk/return decisions.
- Convert market rules (IESO, NYISO, PJM, MISO and AESO) into cash-flow logic and bankability tests.
- Identify and map investor universes (infrastructure funds, strategics, pension funds, banks, tax equity where applicable) and support outreach pipelines.
- Build CIMs, teaser decks, track records, one-pagers, and investment committee materials; coordinate NDAs/teasers and shepherd investors through diligence to commitments.

- Closed-deal experience across financings and/or M&A, with demonstrated process leadership from mandate to close.
- Advanced modeling: project finance waterfalls, debt sizing (DSCR/LLCR/PLCR), tax/rate cases, downside cases, covenants, and portfolio modeling for investor presentations.
- Outstanding presentation & writing: investment decks, CIMs, data rooms, diligence questionnaires, and IC memos.
