The Opportunity    

This Manager, Strategic Finance role will report to the VP, Strategic Finance. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role that sits at the intersection of financial rigour and strategic decision-making. You will own the financial evaluation framework for DER (Distributed Energy Resource) opportunities across North America, drive investment recommendations, and act as a key interface between the finance function and our business development, operations, and financing partners (equity and debt). This is not a support role, you will be expected to bring a point of view, shape how we evaluate opportunities, and help build the analytical capability of the team over time.   

Our Manager, Strategic Finance will:    

Deliver. Own and continuously improve the financial modelling framework for DER projects, setting the standard for how Peak Power evaluates opportunities across North American markets. You will lead the underwriting of sales, acquisitions, financing, and partnership transactions — and be accountable for the quality and rigour of that work.  

• Own the modelling methodology for the full value stack of DER projects, ensuring models are robust, assumption-driven, and consistently applied across markets. 

• Lead due diligence efforts, including technical, financial, and environmental assessments. 

• Collaborate with external advisors and consultants (legal, technical, environmental) to evaluate risks and opportunities. 

Report. Provide investment recommendations — not just analysis — for Peak Power leadership, financing partners, and the board. Come prepared with a clear point of view on risk, return, and strategic fit. The role of this function is to drive decisions, not just inform them.    

• Develop board-ready investment materials and IRR/valuation analyses that reflect a clear recommendation, with the supporting evidence to back it up. 

Collaborate. Act as the primary finance partner to Business Development, Operations, and the Executive Team. Influence decisions by translating financial implications into clear commercial guidance — and earn a seat at the table by consistently delivering work that moves the business forward.    

• Build trusted relationships across functions and with external partners, acting as a credible and proactive counterpart on all financial matters. 

• Stay abreast of industry developments, regulatory changes, and advancements in renewable energy technologies.    

Build.

• You will identify gaps in analytical capability, process, and tooling — and take initiative to close them. As the function scales, this role is expected to help develop junior team members and establish the frameworks and standards that make the Strategic Finance team high-performing.
• Contribute directly to Peak Power’s electric asset portfolio growth by ensuring every opportunity is evaluated with rigour and every decision is made with clear financial visibility.    

What you bring to Peak Power:     

The experience and education.   

• 5+ years of experience in Project Finance, Corporate Development, or Investment Banking with direct exposure to North American renewable energy assets; experience with energy storage or distributed energy projects is strongly preferred;

• Demonstrated experience leading deal processes or analytical workstreams end-to-end, not just contributing to them; candidates who have owned a transaction or financing process from evaluation through close will stand out;

• Knowledge of wholesale energy markets in the North American ISOs will be considered a plus;

• Experience presenting recommendations and summarizing financial analysis to Executive-level management of both internal and external stakeholders; 

• An understanding of project finance and development concepts; 

• Master’s Degree/CFA/CPA preferred; 

• Organized, diligent, and able to track and manage multiple streams of information on an ongoing basis; 

• Strong financial modelling and analytical skills.   

The drive and curiosity. You have a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and are motivated to solve problems and support the organization’s success. You are passionate about contributing to innovative solutions to climate change.   

• Curious and fast learner attributes demonstrated by proven ability to meet deadlines, problem-solving and attention to detail    

• Passion for learning and conducting targeted research and analysis within the renewable energy space   

The flexibility. You can adapt your activities to support evolving team priorities in a rapidly changing business environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy coming up with solutions when there is no clear, defined path or process outlined. You are proactive in identifying problems & finding solutions.   

• Ability to work collaboratively with teammates across functions.   

• Demonstrated ability to perform with a high degree of resourcefulness.
