director of power origination & government relations
Ever wondered what it would be like to rebuild modern civilization from scratch?
Our current plan is to place our first site in Nagano, Japan, and so we need someone who is fluent in both massive-scale project finance and also the Japanese market. Bonus points for being a fantastic/artful writer and familiar with the physics and engineering fundamentals of our work (think Freeman Dyson). Your goal is to get us power purchase and offtake agreements, as well as arrange large project finance deals for capital construction. You'll pull together insurers, government backers, financial institutions, and contractors/EPC firms to build out our capacity as fast as humanly possible.
Preferred qualifications
- Bachelor's in math, physics, chemistry, engineering OR 5+ years of experience leading power origination, project finance, PPP, or joint venture (especially in Japan) deals.
- you've been the one to make first contact with a financial institution or government agency on a project/infrastructure finance deal over $500M that closed
- you've originated and closed power purchase or commodity offtake agreements
- you aspire to be or are close to being the "best networked person in the industry" - you know *everyone* and they love you
- negotiation comes natural to you, you're stellar at it, and you find it intensely enjoyable
- you know a lot about feed-in-tariff systems, wheeling, standby charges, and tax equity structures
- native-level Japanese language skills
- ultra, ultra-fast mover, maniacal sense of urgency, your friends are in utter awe at your ability to prioritize
annual salary: 120,000.00 USD
