Head of Finance Remote
Job description
The Team
We're hiring quickly and consciously, as a foundational hire, you’re going to make a massive impact on who this team will be in the future. The scope of this opportunity is massive given the rate of growth of C&I solar, and the potential financial and sustainability impact it has on corporate energy procurement. Come and help us create a new energy asset class from the built environment.
What you'll do
Build out a finance organization and core capability that plays an integral part in project financing, fundraising, and product pricing. This will be a core capability within our product that accelerates how real estate investor-partners deploy commercial clean energy projects across their portfolios. You will work with both commercial real estate and funding partners to secure and deploy capital projects, owning financial models that provide attractive returns. This will require you to develop and maintain robust financial models in connection with capital investments, project development, and project financing (especially in the early days as the team is forming.) Foster a culture of scrappiness, strategic ownership, and cross-functional collaboration as that is critical to our success.
We now have a significant pipeline of onsite C&I solar at various stages, including some that will shortly enter the construction phase. So you will be hitting the ground running and leading financing efforts & strategy to secure £50M+ in project funding (debt, equity, tax equity) in service of our first 100MW worth of solar plants.
Who you are
If you are looking for a life-changing career opportunity where you can grow and bring on your experience and network to make a difference then this is the job for you. So, who you are is of utmost importance. It probably looks like this:
You execute
We're out to earn the trust of our future customers, and we’re doing that by demonstrating the real value in what we build. So, we all need to execute to completion.
You’ll be enthusiastic about solving problems and delivering value in any challenge.
You learn
We don’t have all the answers to everything we need right now, and neither will you. We are continuously learning as we build. That applies throughout the company.
You’ll be comfortable with what you do and don’t know; you'll know how to ask for help and provide help in return. We'll be supportive, and make sure you can be the best at what you do.
You communicate
As a remote-first company, much of our interaction is asynchronous. To fully deliver your ideas, passion, and values you need to be an excellent communicator.
You’re experienced
We are looking for someone that has 5+ years of relevant energy finance experience with a preference for solar. Having previously raised asset-backed debt financing in renewable energy for early-stage startups is a major plus.
One main ingredient is the hunger and willingness to get your hands dirty with the details (i.e. Excel modelling) but also thrive at a strategic level. You are a highly analytical thinker with excellent strategic planning and financial modelling skills. You know how to evaluate business opportunities and model their contribution to a business’s financial performance.
You must be comfortable with working in ambiguity and have a passion for crafting structure in places where it doesn't yet exist. With a "the buck stops here" mentality and a willingness to walk through walls to make your vision a reality. Having a bias for quantifiable results versus activity, and willingness to hold yourself & others accountable for delivering results. We need Contrarians!
Benefits
Joining a startup this early comes with both risk and reward.
For the right person, this opportunity will accelerate your career. You’ll collaborate with an experienced team of startup builders and investors. Your high degree of autonomy and responsibility will give you a place to show how you get things done.
As one of the early joiners at InRange, you'll receive very generous equity with a potential life-changing upside.
We have a bold vision to go far. This is location specific role but we have a flexible, remote, or office working environment. For this role, we require someone to be based in the UK and have the understanding and experience of debt financing within the UK and Europe.
Most importantly to us, you'll be working in a culture you help to build; one that treats others how you want to be treated.
Compensation Range: £80K - £85K
