Senior Manager, Capital Markets

Scout Clean Energy • Boulder, CO

2d • $150,000 - $175,000

About The Position

As Scout’s Capital Markets Senior Manager, you will play an integral role in capital raising activities for our growing portfolio of utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects. We expect a high volume of transactions and are expanding the team to support that growth.
In this position, you will play a key role in project finance, corporate finance, and capital recycling transactions. Your work will include a combination of engagement with capital providers (debt, tax equity, and equity), transaction development and execution, and collaboration with teams across the organization. Your deal-oriented mindset will enable you to craft optimal capital solutions, identify and manage diligence risks, and efficiently drive transactions to close – all while integrating the Scout Values in the way you work and relate to others.
You will report to the Director of Capital Markets. You will be a tight-knit and efficient group that collaborates effectively to execute transactions. Our team’s work style requires both collaborative and independent work at all levels; the Senior Manager would engage in a combination of doing work independently and overseeing the work of others, growing into a manager for junior associates.
