at Wunder Capital

๐Ÿข About Wunder Capital

Wunder Capital is a mission-driven fintech and solar development company that has deployed over $1 billion in solar assets, helping businesses, municipalities, and schools save money while accelerating clean energy adoption. Unlike traditional solar firms, Wunder focuses on converting commercial and industrial properties into electrified platforms, aligning ESG goals with revenue. Working here means directly combating climate change while solving complex financial and operational challenges in a fast-growing sector.

About This Role

As an Analyst in Asset Management, you will be responsible for monitoring and optimizing the performance of Wunder's growing portfolio of solar assets, ensuring they meet financial and operational targets. You'll work cross-functionally with engineering, finance, and sales teams to analyze asset data, manage risk, and support the acquisition of new commercial customers. This role is critical to maintaining Wunder's reputation for reliability and maximizing the impact of each solar system.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Your day might start with reviewing performance dashboards for Wunder's solar assets, flagging any underperformance or anomalies. You'll then collaborate with the engineering team to troubleshoot issues and with finance to update financial models. Later, you might analyze data for a new acquisition or prepare reports for investors, all while ensuring Wunder's assets are operating at peak efficiency to maximize clean energy output.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Wunder Capital Is Looking For

  • 2-4 years of experience in asset management, financial analysis, or renewable energy operations, with a strong understanding of solar project economics and performance metrics.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to work quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Proficiency in data analysis tools (Excel, SQL, Python, or similar) and experience with financial modeling or performance reporting.
  • A proactive problem-solver who thrives on challenges and is passionate about renewable energy and sustainability.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Wunder Capital

1

Highlight any experience with solar asset management or renewable energy operations, even if it's from internships or coursework, as Wunder values domain knowledge.

3

Demonstrate familiarity with Wunder's business model by mentioning their focus on commercial and industrial solar and their $1B+ assets under management in your application.

4

Since this is an in-office role in Boulder, CO, explicitly state your willingness and ability to relocate or work onsite to avoid being filtered out.

5

Show your passion for climate change mitigation by connecting your personal or professional experiences to Wunder's mission of accelerating solar adoption.
