What are the responsibilities and job description for the Strategic Finance Senior Associate position at Evergrow?
We’re excited to share that our team is growing!
At Evergrow, we seek to build and sustain a carbon-neutral world. We're fulfilling this mission by making financing accessible for those creating low-carbon infrastructure and technology (e.g., solar, renewable natural gas, energy storage). And there’s a strong why now. The climate bill passed by Congress in 2022 is a game-changer for renewable energy project developers and owners, and we are building solutions to provide everything they need to claim vital financial benefits. Our transparency and speed materially lowers transaction costs and helps more projects get built and accelerate decarbonization.
You Should Apply If
You aspire to work alongside the best: We’ve brought together an immensely talented, thoughtful, and mission-driven team—we care deeply about our work, are highly collaborative, and are eager to welcome other like-minded people to join us in our mission. We’ve spent time at leading companies and financial institutions (Google, YouTube, Pinterest, Stripe, U.S. Bank, Point72), academic institutions (Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Princeton), and are backed by leading investors (XYZ Venture Capital, Congruent Ventures, First Round Capital, Garuda Ventures, My Climate Journey, Skyview Ventures, and founders and senior executives from Plaid, Brex, Twitch, Instacart, Charm Industrial, Living Carbon, and Bridgewater Associates).
You’re energized about solving complex problems: We are at a new frontier with climate change—the Inflation Reduction Act signals a profound shift in climate policy, with financial incentive (and benefits) at its core. This brings a vast network of wild-west legislations, processes, businesses and people into the fray, and it will be your job to bring order to the chaos. If you're prepared to tackle these challenges, energized to get into the weeds of renewable energy tax credits, and work to build long-lasting, novel solutions and relationships from scratch, we believe you'll be an excellent match.
