About the RoleWe're looking for a senior structured finance leader to create immediate execution leverage for a growing capital markets function. In this role, you'll take broad financing objectives, such as raising a large pool of capital from a defined set of counterparties, and independently turn them into well-run transaction processes.
You'll lead complex financings from strategy through close, manage counterparties and advisors, and bring sound judgment to capital structure, risk allocation, process design, and execution. This is a hands-on role for someone who is still close to the details, not a purely senior relationship manager. Your work will allow the team lead to spend less time in day-to-day execution and more time building the broader capital markets organization.
In this role, you will:- Lead large, complex financing processes from initial structuring through diligence, negotiation, documentation, and closing.
- 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.
- Help build repeatable internal processes for a financing function that is still scaling.
- Coach and develop more junior transaction professionals.
You might thrive in this role if you have:- 8-15 years of experience executing structured finance, project finance, infrastructure finance, digital infrastructure finance, or other capital-intensive transactions.
- Personally led multiple complex or large-scale financings through close, with the ability to explain your individual role and decisions in detail.
- 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.
- A track record of managing, coaching, or developing junior transaction professionals.
- Comfort operating in a low-hierarchy, high-ambiguity environment where senior leaders are expected to stay close to execution.
- Willingness to relocate to or work consistently from San Francisco.
