Chief Financial Officer

Acre has been retained by an exciting, rapidly expanding platform in Distributed Energy to hire into a newly created CFO seat.

​

The "energy-as-a-service" market is one of the fastest growing segments across the clean-energy transition and our client, fully backed by one of the largest asset managers in the world, is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this, building owning and operating marquee projects for renewable energy generation and stand-alone energy storage projects for which they already have a substantial portfolio under management.

​

Over the next 12-18 months this business will be raising hundreds of millions of dollars in project financing, and although they already have robust plans in place, the CFO will ultimately be responsible for directing and overseeing all financial aspects of the business including playing a lead role in each raise. Working closely with the CEO you will directly manage all financing activities as well as corporate finance and asset management functions to set a comprehensive strategy to drive growth and profitability.

​

Key Success Criteria

• Extensive experience structuring and executing finance transactions/facilities for clean energy projects with a particular interest in candidates with experience of merchant power markets.

• Ideally previous experience sitting in a CFO or executive oversight position in an energy operating platform or on the private equity/asset management side with experience of managing a clean energy portfolio.

• Although there is a heavy emphasis on project financing in this role candidates must also have demonstrable experience managing corporate financing functions particularly accounting, again within the energy sector.

​

This role requires a leader with strong financial acumen but most importantly the drive and ability to operate in a rapidly growing, dynamic earlier-stage organization where there will be a need for decisive management decisions and strategic thinking.

​

You will be joining an accomplished group whohave developed a close-knit, high-performance culture with an opportunity to have a massive impact on their overall success and a compensation and incentive structure to truly realize the rewards of your work.
