About The Position

Solar Landscape is hiring a senior leader to sit at the center of enterprise decision-making—owning the analytical frameworks, planning processes, and strategic insights that guide how the company grows, invests, and allocates capital.

You will partner directly with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to evaluate growth opportunities, shape capital deployment decisions, and build the systems that translate a rapidly scaling business into clear, actionable insight. This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex, unstructured problems, and can connect detailed analysis to real-world business outcomes. You’ll work across development, operations, structured finance, and capital markets to ensure the company is making the right decisions—quickly and with conviction. This role is based in the Northeast. Time in office is not required but strongly preferred.
