How to apply for Lead - Forecasting and Liquidity

About Intersect Power

Intersect Power develops, constructs, and operates power and data center infrastructure by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable generation. It was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary, with multiple gigawatts of projects underway in the U.S. The company has been fully flexible since 2016, with four annual Team Weeks and hubs in the SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, and Toronto.

About the role

This role leads forecasting and liquidity for a company building multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects. The work likely covers cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, and funding coordination across a large project pipeline. It sits at the center of how Intersect funds aggressive growth while operating as a Google subsidiary.

A typical day

A typical day might include updating the consolidated cash flow forecast, meeting with project finance on upcoming construction draws, and reviewing liquidity headroom against facility covenants. You would also coordinate with FP&A and accounting on actuals versus forecast, and prepare reporting for leadership. Specific routines depend on the team, so ask about reporting cadence, tools, and how the role interacts with Google during interviews.

Who Intersect Power is looking for

• Has led forecasting and liquidity work at a company with large capital projects, ideally in power, energy infrastructure, or data centers.
• Can build and own cash flow forecast models across multiple entities, project SPVs, and funding sources.
• Understands project finance, debt facilities, and how construction draw schedules affect liquidity.
• Comfortable working in a fully flexible, remote-first setup and traveling to Team Weeks four times a year.
• Lives within 60 miles of a hub: SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, or Toronto.

Tips for this application

• State your location in the first line of your resume or cover letter and confirm you are within 60 miles of a listed hub.
• Quantify the scale you have managed: total liquidity, forecast horizon, number of entities or SPVs, and size of project debt facilities.
• Name the tools and systems you use for forecasting and treasury (for example, Anaplan, Hyperion, Kyriba, or similar) rather than saying 'financial systems'.
• Reference Intersect's model of co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable generation, and explain how forecasting and liquidity work supports that model.
• Address the Google acquisition directly. Say how you would operate as part of an independent subsidiary with Google as parent, since reporting and treasury interfaces may differ.

What to cover in your cover letter

1) Your track record leading forecasting and liquidity at a capital-intensive company, with numbers. 2) How you would structure liquidity planning for a multi-gigawatt project pipeline with co-located generation and data centers. 3) Your experience working with project finance, debt draw schedules, and multiple legal entities. 4) Why the flexible, hub-based model works for you, including your proximity to a hub and willingness to attend four Team Weeks per year.

Research before applying

• Read Intersect Power's project portfolio, including its co-located data center and generation projects, and note the scale in gigawatts.
• Look up the Google acquisition announced in March 2026 and how Intersect describes its independent subsidiary structure.
• Review the hub locations and Team Week format, and confirm which hub you are closest to.
• Check what has been publicly said about Intersect's financing structures, such as project debt, tax equity, or corporate facilities.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a 13-week or 12-month cash flow forecast you built. What were the inputs, and how accurate was it?
• How would you approach liquidity planning for a company developing multiple gigawatts of projects across several states?
• How do you coordinate forecasting with project finance, construction, and FP&A teams during a period of rapid growth?
• What changes when a company becomes an independent subsidiary of a large parent like Google? How does that affect treasury and reporting?
• How do you set minimum cash thresholds and manage revolver or facility draws across multiple project entities?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you live within 60 miles of a hub. The posting states this requirement, so ignoring it wastes both sides' time.
• Writing a generic treasury cover letter that does not mention project finance, construction draws, or multi-entity forecasting.
• Claiming forecasting experience without scale. This role supports a multi-gigawatt pipeline, so vague descriptions of 'cash flow management' will not hold up in interviews.
