📋 Description

• Own capital formation across the portfolio — set the financing strategy for Giga’s full pipeline of power and data center assets, determining how each project gets capitalized across debt, tax equity, sponsor equity, and alternative structures. • Lead the project finance function end to end — from originating lender and investor relationships, to structuring and negotiating facilities, to closing deals, to managing post-close compliance and reporting. • Build and lead the team — hire, develop, and manage the project finance organization. Define the operating model, the review process, and the bar for financial rigor as the team scales from one to many. • Structure and close financings at scale — negotiate non-recourse and limited-recourse debt facilities, construction financing, tax equity partnerships, back-leverage, holdco debt, and other structures with institutional lenders, infrastructure funds, and strategic partners. • Serve as Giga’s principal face to the capital markets — own relationships with tier-one project finance banks, infrastructure funds, tax equity investors, and ratings agencies. Build the institutional credibility that unlocks favorable terms across the portfolio. • Drive deals to close on Giga’s timelines — lead financial due diligence and lender-facing workstreams, coordinate across legal, engineering, and operations, and hold the pen on the financial narrative from term sheet through funding. • Partner with the CEO and CFO on enterprise capital strategy — inform decisions on project selection, portfolio construction, capital allocation, and the corporate financing stack that sits above the project level. • Represent the company to the board and investment committees — translate complex multi-layer financing structures into clear risk-return narratives for the board, external investors, and credit committees on the other side of the table. • Build the internal financial infrastructure — models, templates, underwriting standards, governance, reporting cadences, and lender compliance systems that scale with deal volume as Giga grows.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years in project finance, structured finance, or infrastructure finance, with a clear track record of leading deals from origination through close as the principal or lead banker — not as support. • Proven record of closing large-scale non-recourse and limited-recourse debt facilities for physical infrastructure assets, including construction-phase financing, at sizes that have materially moved a portfolio. • Deep experience structuring and negotiating across the full capital stack — senior debt, mezzanine, tax equity, back-leverage, and sponsor equity — with the judgment to know which structure fits which project. • Demonstrated ability to build a function from scratch or rebuild one at inflection, including hiring and managing a team, setting the operating cadence, and establishing the standards. • Established relationships across institutional lenders, infrastructure funds, and tax equity investors that you can activate from day one. • Elite modeling fluency — you can build a project finance model from a blank spreadsheet, sculpt debt against complex cash flows, and defend every assumption in front of a credit committee. You also know when not to be the one in the model. • Executive presence and narrative skill — you’re as credible in a board meeting as you are in a credit committee, and you can turn complex structures into clear risk-return stories for any audience. • High agency and builder’s instinct — you are energized, not unnerved, by the prospect of writing the playbook rather than following one.

🏖️ Benefits

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup • 401(k) with 4% employer match • Unlimited PTO • Parental leave • Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) • Commuter benefits • Monthly team onsites where all offices come in–person to collaborate
