  • The Director of Project Finance leads Apex's 4-person Project Finance analysis team-establishing priorities, setting modeling standards, reviewing team output, and managing workload and staffing across a live transaction pipeline-while also personally owning the financial model for a subset of individual project finance transactions each year, including deal structuring, base case development, and sensitivity and scenario analysis.
  • This is a hybrid role: part team leadership, part hands-on modeling, and the balance will shift with deal flow and team capacity.
  • Our ideal candidate has deep, current, hands-on financial modeling experience in renewable energy project finance-not only management experience-combined with a track record of leading and developing a team of analysts or associates.

  • Review, stress-test, and validate financial models produced by the Project Finance analysis team across all other active transactions, and set the modeling standards, templates, and methodologies used across the Project Finance function.
