Description

Following a successful Series A fundraise, our client is looking to hire a Head of Project Finance to lead and execute their finance and investment strategy, driving the development of projects globally. The successful candidate will work closely with the senior management, including the founders, to develop and run a high-quality strategy for growth. Responsible for project development, leading the go-to-market efforts, and managing a pipeline of investors to secure funding, this person will be crucial to the success of projects from inception to completion. Collaborating with key stakeholders, candidates must be able to identify and mitigate risks associated with projects and the financial safety of the business, ensuring a sustainable structure is implemented and maintained. This is an important hire for the business and wider leadership team and offers the opportunity to contribute to rapid growth and global impact.

Communication skills are paramount for this role, working closely with the co-founders of the business, managing senior relationships both locally and internationally with internal stakeholders as well as with potential new investors and commercial partners. The successful candidate will need a good understanding of capital structure optimization, non-dilutive funding mechanisms and project financing to be successful. This is an exciting opportunity to join a business with the ambition and scope to become a global leader in sustainable industrial solutions.
