Responsibilities

Own and continuously improve the financial modelling framework for DER projects, setting the standard for how Peak Power evaluates opportunities across North American markets.
Lead the underwriting of sales, acquisitions, financing, and partnership transactions — and be accountable for the quality and rigour of that work.
Own the modelling methodology for the full value stack of DER projects, ensuring models are robust, assumption-driven, and consistently applied across markets.
Lead due diligence efforts, including technical, financial, and environmental assessments.
Collaborate with external advisors and consultants (legal, technical, environmental) to evaluate risks and opportunities.
Provide investment recommendations — not just analysis — for Peak Power leadership, financing partners, and the board. Come prepared with a clear point of view on risk, return, and strategic fit.
Develop board-ready investment materials and IRR/valuation analyses that reflect a clear recommendation, with the supporting evidence to back it up.
Act as the primary finance partner to Business Development, Operations, and the Executive Team.
Influence decisions by translating financial implications into clear commercial guidance — and earn a seat at the table by consistently delivering work that moves the business forward.
Build trusted relationships across functions and with external partners, acting as a credible and proactive counterpart on all financial matters.
Stay abreast of industry developments, regulatory changes, and advancements in renewable energy technologies.
Identify gaps in analytical capability, process, and tooling — and take initiative to close them.
As the function scales, this role is expected to help develop junior team members and establish the frameworks and standards that make the Strategic Finance team high-performing.
Contribute directly to Peak Power’s electric asset portfolio growth by ensuring every opportunity is evaluated with rigour and every decision is made with clear financial visibility.
