FINANCE ANALYST
Department: Finance
Reports To: Director, Corporate Finance
Location: Remote (United States); preference for candidates in the New York City metro area or elsewhere on the East Coast
Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt
Travel: Occasional; company gatherings and team meetings
Sparkfund prices and structures its Distributed Capacity Procurement deals using a set of programmatic pricing models, and this role is responsible for both sides of that work: building the ad hoc project finance models a deal needs when it falls outside the existing templates, and keeping the standing programmatic models accurate as cost, revenue, timing, and financing assumptions shift. You'll work from our existing model library, but you'll also be expected to build new models from scratch when a deal structure calls for something the templates don't cover.
The work sits between Finance and the teams closest to the deals. You will partner with Business Development, Program, and Project teams to source the assumptions that feed a model, test them against the underlying data, and flag anything that doesn't hold up before it reaches a pricing output. You will also translate model output into language deal teams can use when they negotiate. You will report to the Director of Corporate Finance. Success in this role looks like a maintained set of pricing models that are accurate and able tohold up under review from Finance leadership and deal counterparts.
Our values guide how we work together, make decisions, and deliver for our customers and partners. Regardless of role or level, we expect everyone at Sparkfund to demonstrate:
These values are part of how we evaluate success at Sparkfund, alongside the skills, competencies, and results required for each role.
