Project Finance Associate

Responsibilities

• Where you'll work
• Support deal execution across the full project finance lifecycle - from initial underwriting and lender diligence to term sheet negotiation, closing, and post-close compliance.
• Own financial modeling - build and maintain project finance models from scratch, sculpt debt against complex cash flows, and stress-test assumptions ahead of credit committee and lender review.
• Assist in structuring capital solutions across the stack - senior debt, construction financing, tax equity, back-leverage, and holdco facilities - under the direction of senior team members.
• Prepare lender and investor-facing materials - information memoranda, financial presentations, project summaries, and credit narratives that tell Giga's story clearly and credibly.
• Support lender and investor relationship management - coordinate diligence requests, track open items, and maintain organized deal data rooms across active transactions.
• Drive internal financial infrastructure - help build and refine model templates, underwriting standards, reporting cadences, and lender compliance tracking systems as deal volume grows.
• Coordinate across legal, engineering, and operations on deal workstreams - manage timelines, consolidate inputs, and keep transactions moving.
• Stay current on market conditions - track financing trends, benchmark terms, and flag relevant developments in power, data center, and infrastructure finance markets.

Requirements

• 2-5 years of experience in project finance, structured finance, infrastructure finance, or investment banking with meaningful exposure to infrastructure or energy assets.
• Strong financial modeling skills - comfortable building a project finance model from a blank spreadsheet and defending assumptions in front of senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with capital structure concepts across debt, equity, and tax equity - you understand how deals are layered and why structure matters.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational instincts - you can manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without things slipping.
• Clear written and verbal communication - you can translate complex financial concepts into clean, credible narratives for lenders and internal stakeholders.
• High agency and a builder's mindset - you're energized by early-stage environments and take ownership rather than waiting to be directed.
• Bonus points
• Experience on infrastructure, energy, or data center financings - either on the buy side, sell side, or at a developer.
• Familiarity with ITC/PTC tax credit structures and Inflation Reduction Act transferability provisions.
• Background at an infrastructure-focused investment bank (Macquarie, Guggenheim, RBC, MUFG, KeyBanc) or infrastructure fund (Stonepeak, GIP, Brookfield, IFM).
• Exposure to equipment-level financing, sale-leaseback structures, or asset-backed lending.
• MBA, CFA, or graduate degree in a quantitative field - or actively pursuing one.
• Prior experience at a high-growth company - you know what it looks like
