Collaborating with ENGIE’s Business Development and Operations teams, and the Commercial and Risk Director, you will drive these initiatives.

In this position, you will work with the sales and marketing teams to identify, develop, and acquire new customers, expediting contract closures by delivering essential financing information.

You'll also advise sales management on high-potential clients, ensuring resources are focused on the most profitable opportunities. Additionally, you will develop sector-specific financing guidelines to support the sales force.

Your responsibilities include conducting risk reviews to validate project economics and financing assumptions, ensuring risk mitigation and optimization of customer cash flow and ES margins. You'll identify new business opportunities from public financing packages and communicate these to sales and operations management. You will ensure thorough credit screenings for prospective customers and review requirements for those nearing contract finalization.

You will also handle special projects like Mergers &Acquisitions (M & A) due diligence, refining standard procedures, enhancing pricing models, and creating unique financial models for energy projects. Working with leadership, you'll establish new internal financing programs, including Private Label Programs and state-mandated conduit financing programs. You'll stay informed on rebates, incentives, and funding opportunities related to ENGIE’s products, coordinating with the policy and regulatory team to track and promote new funding sources. As the Finance Project Finance Advisor you'll present insights on incentive, rebate, and grant projects to shape business development strategy.
