  • Work closely with company leadership on strategy, capital planning and external counterparties.

Preferred Profile

  • Demonstrated ability to move projects from early-stage origination toward financeable or construction-ready milestones.

  • Builder mindset: comfortable creating systems, teams and processes in an early-stage environment.

What You Will Shape
