Head of Project Finance

What you’ll do

The AI infrastructure buildout is the largest capital deployment cycle since the shale boom. Hundreds of billions of dollars will flow into power and data center assets over the next decade, and the people who build the financing playbooks now will define how this entire industry gets funded. This role sits at the center of that.

As Giga’s Head of Project Finance, you will own capital formation for the company. You will build the project finance function from the ground up — the team, the lender relationships, the capital strategy, and the financing playbooks that unlock nine- and ten-figure infrastructure deployments across power generation and data center assets. You will report directly to the CFO, work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO, and sit at the table with tier-one lenders, infrastructure funds, and tax equity investors as the principal, not the advisor.

This is not a role for someone looking to run a desk inside an established framework. You are inheriting a blank page. You will define how Giga finances its pipeline, hire the team that executes it, and set the standard for how this generational buildout gets funded.

This role comes with meaningful equity in a company at the inflection point of a generational buildout. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to step into principal ownership of capital strategy at scale, this is it.

• Structure and close financings at scale — negotiate non-recourse and limited-recourse debt facilities, construction financing, tax equity partnerships, back-leverage, holdco debt, and other structures with institutional lenders, infrastructure funds, and strategic partners.
• Serve as Giga’s principal face to the capital markets — own relationships with tier-one project finance banks, infrastructure funds, tax equity investors, and ratings agencies. Build the institutional credibility that unlocks favorable terms across the portfolio.
• Drive deals to close on Giga’s timelines — lead financial due diligence and lender-facing workstreams, coordinate across legal, engineering, and o
