About the role

Responsibilities

• Own the company’s most unstructured, broad-scope problems end to end, bringing structure to vague goals and carrying each from framed options through founder decision to execution.
• Drive strategic finance workstreams: build the models and business cases behind capital allocation, new business lines, and build-versus-buy calls, and defend them where the decision gets made.
• Run acquisition opportunities from sourcing and valuation through diligence, negotiation, and close, coordinating counsel and advisors so deals move at the pace of the build.
• Evaluate alternative generation for our campuses, such as wind or long-duration storage, and deliver a clear answer on whether, where, and when it belongs in the design.
• Assess alternative ways to monetize GW-scale campuses, such as co-located loads like desalination or heat offtake, and build the commercial case for the ones worth pursuing.
• Pressure-test every recommendation against engineering, procurement, and project reality, working with the teams closest to the work so decisions survive execution.
• Stand up the workstream that follows a yes, run it yourself until it earns a permanent owner, and hand it off cleanly.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in demanding, analytical, high-ownership roles.
• A track record from an elite seat such as private equity, a hedge fund, or building a startup, where rigor and output were the baseline expectation.
• Demonstrated ability to take open-ended, ambiguous questions and return decision-ready recommendations.
• Strong financial modeling and transaction judgment: you can value an opportunity, structure a deal, and defend your numbers.
• Comfortable working across the technical, commercial, and financial dimensions of a problem with incomplete information and no template.
• Clear, direct communication with founders, engineers, counsel, and outside counterparties.
