• Develop and manage relationships with a wide range of capital providers—including infrastructure investors, green banks, and project finance lenders—tailoring capital solutions to meet the dynamic needs of the market.
• Partner with direct sellers, account teams, and marketing to align capital availability with retail demand—bridging enterprise retailers demand with scalable capital solutions.
• Originate, negotiate, and close major financing transactions to support the deployment of Electric Era’s EV charging network.
• Serve as Electric Era’s subject matter expert on project finance and capital markets. Advise internal teams on capital strategy, deal structuring, risk management, and portfolio development.
• Share insights with executive leadership to guide planning, forecasting, and investor communications.
• Track developments in energy and environmental markets (LCFS, RECs, ITC, etc.), credit trends, and capital market conditions to inform both transactional and strategic decisions.
• Collaborate closely with commercial and product teams to inform pricing, deployment, and go-to-market strategy. Translate project finance dynamics into actionable guidance for account team units.
• Act as the connective tissue between capital partners and commercial growth, ensuring seamless integration of financing solutions within go-to-market motions and greater deployment strategy.
