Finance Project Manager

Description

The Project Finance Manager will lead the financial structuring, modeling, and execution of Hadron Energy’s reactor deployment projects—spanning power purchase agreements (PPAs), customer financing, government partnerships, and manufacturing expansion. This individual will work closely with the CFO, Corporate Development, and Engineering teams to assess project economics, evaluate funding mechanisms, and support large-scale capital formation as Hadron transitions from prototype to commercial deployment.

You will play a central role in designing the financial architecture behind Hadron’s projects, ensuring that each deployment is both economically viable and aligned with the company’s long-term growth and investor objectives.

• Provide mentorship to junior finance team members and support cross-departmental collaboration
• Lead the development of comprehensive project finance models to assess feasibility, returns (IRR, NPV, payback), and sensitivity across multiple scenarios
• Support capital planning for the company’s manufacturing and deployment pipeline, including multi-reactor program financing
• Structure and analyze financing solutions for reactor deployments, including PPAs, build-own-operate models, joint ventures, and public-private partnerships
• Manage financial diligence and coordinate with lenders, investors, and government partners to secure funding
• Evaluate project risks, contract terms, and commercial structures to optimize financing outcomes
• Prepare investment memoranda, presentations, and analysis for executive leadership, the Board, and external partners
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and legal teams to align technical assumptions with financial models and project budgets
• Track project-level financial performance and manage updates to forecasts and reporting
• Monitor policy, regulatory, and incentive programs (DOE, DOD, state-level energy funds) to inform financing strategy and cost optimization
• Support transaction execution for debt, equity, and hybrid financing arrangements
