Project Finance Analyst

Description

You will work closely with the Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Development, and Engineering teams to create detailed financial forecasts, assess project viability, and support the financing of Hadron’s first commercial deployments. The role combines rigorous financial analysis with strategic insight into infrastructure development and clean energy finance.

The Project Finance Analyst will play a key role in structuring and analyzing the financial performance of Hadron Energy’s reactor deployment projects. This individual will develop project-level economic models, evaluate funding options, and support investment strategies across multiple markets — from industrial and government applications to data center power purchase agreements (PPAs).

• Conduct market, customer, and policy research to inform project assumptions and financial feasibility
• Analyze capital expenditure (CAPEX), operating expenditure (OPEX), and long-term cost curves across Hadron’s microreactor fleet
• Evaluate and benchmark financing options such as debt, equity, and hybrid instruments
• Build and maintain detailed project finance models to evaluate reactor deployment economics, revenue streams, and return metrics (IRR, NPV, payback, etc.)
• Assist in developing pro forma financial statements and sensitivity analyses for investor presentations and board reviews
• Prepare materials to support investor due diligence, financial closings, and funding applications (DOE, DOD, or state incentive programs)
• Track and report key project finance metrics and progress against budgets and timelines
• Support scenario modeling for multi-unit rollouts and “gigafactory” manufacturing ramp-up
• Support the structuring and execution of financing transactions, including PPAs, lease structures, joint ventures, and public-private partnerships
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and regulatory teams to translate technical data into financial models

This is a full-time on-site role for a Project Finance Analyst, based in the San Francisco Bay Area or New York City.
