at Arevon

🏢 About Arevon

Arevon is a U.S. energy leader focused on utility-scale solar and energy storage, with a strong emphasis on American manufacturing and domestic energy production. Their mission to reduce planetary impact while fostering local economies makes them a compelling choice for those passionate about renewable energy and energy independence.

About This Role

The Analyst, Portfolio Finance supports new financing activities and manages capital structure oversight across the operating portfolio. This role is impactful because it directly influences the financial health of renewable energy projects, working cross-functionally with Development, Project Finance, Asset Management, Tax, and Accounting teams.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve updating financial models for operating projects to track debt service coverage ratios, preparing materials for a new financing deal, and meeting with the Development team to review project milestones. You'll also coordinate with Accounting to ensure accurate reporting and with Asset Management to address any performance variances.

🎯 Who Arevon Is Looking For

  • 1-2 years of experience in project finance, investment banking, or a related field, with a strong understanding of financial modeling and capital structures.
  • Proficiency in Excel and financial modeling; familiarity with renewable energy tax credits (ITC/PTC) and project finance structures is a plus.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams, with strong communication skills to present complex financial data to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Detail-oriented and proactive, with a passion for renewable energy and a desire to contribute to a high-growth industry.
