THE ROLE

Comity is looking for a project finance professional to lead the structuring and execution of transactions across renewable energy markets.

In this role, you will:

- Own transaction execution end-to-end: Take opportunities from evaluation through structuring, negotiation, and close, with full ownership of deal outcomes.

- Lead underwriting and structuring: Analyze transactions, build financial models, assess downside scenarios, and design structures that enable execution.

- Build and manage relationships: Act as the primary point of contact for our client portfolio, developing durable, trust-based relationships.

- Innovate: Develop innovative collateral structures and push the boundaries of what we can deliver across counterparties, constraints, and use cases.

- Contribute to platform development: Act as a core user of our underwriting and origination systems, providing insights to engineering to improve workflows and AI-driven risk tools.

WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT YOU BECAUSE

- Experienced project finance professional: You have 6+ years of experience in renewable energy project finance, analyzing, structuring, and executing complex transactions in the US.

- Builder mentality: You thrive in 0→1 environments. You operate effectively under ambiguity, move with urgency, and do what it takes to move the business forward.

- Creative structurer: You know how to get deals done. You are capable of designing innovative structures, working around constraints, and expanding what can be offered to clients.

- Highly analytical: You are fluent in complex financial models and think naturally in terms of downside cases, risk allocation, and structural mitigants.

- Strong communicator with executive presence: You explain complexity with clarity and conviction, and are comfortable engaging directly with senior counterparties and stakeholders.

- Commercial and relationship-driven: You build strong relationships, develop trust quickly, and can position differentiated financial solutions in competitive institutional markets.

- Team-oriented operator: You operate with high ownership and low ego, and elevate the performance of the teams around you.

- Technology-oriented: You are excited about leveraging SALO, our proprietary, AI-powered underwriting platform that enhances your judgment and scales your impact.

- Collateral insight: You understand how credit support is structured (e.g., letters of credit, surety bonds) in renewable energy transactions.
