  • Partner cross-functionally across the business - Work closely with development, power, site selection, legal, and technology teams to gather inputs for financial analyses, pressure-test commercial assumptions, and ensure financing structures are grounded in operational reality. Translate complex capital markets concepts for non-finance stakeholders and help the broader team understand how financing decisions affect project outcomes.
