Originations Lead

We’re on a mission to improve the reliability, transparency, and efficiency of our energy systems, fostering a future with sustainable and abundant energy. To accomplish our aims, we’re leveraging state of the art statistical learning and convex optimization methods (AI) to build the financial rails of our future energy systems that will accelerate the deployment of clean energy resources.

We envision energy systems that are efficient, autonomous, resilient, and powered by 100% renewable energy.

Our founders (ex-Apple, Bluevine; ex-Affirm, Square, Google) are Stanford alumni with experience in complex systems, machine learning and structured finance. Our world-class investors, Maverick Ventures and Caffeinated Capital, are aligned to our policy objectives and platform vision.

Comity is looking for a project finance professional to lead the structuring and execution of transactions across renewable energy markets.

In this role, you will:

• Own transaction execution end-to-end: Take opportunities from evaluation through structuring, negotiation, and close, with full ownership of deal outcomes.

• Lead underwriting and structuring: Analyze transactions, build financial models, assess downside scenarios, and design structures that enable execution.

• Build and manage relationships: Act as the primary point of contact for our client portfolio, developing durable, trust-based relationships.

• Innovate: Develop innovative collateral structures and push the boundaries of what we can deliver across counterparties, constraints, and use cases.

• Contribute to platform development: Act as a core user of our underwriting and origination systems, providing insights to engineering to improve workflows and AI-driven risk tools.

• Experienced project finance professional: You have 6+ years of experience in renewable energy project finance, analyzing, structuring, and executing complex transactions in the US.

• Builder mentality: You thrive in 0→1 environments. You operate effectively under ambiguity, move with urgency, and do what it takes to move the business forward.

• Creative structurer: You know how to get deals done. You are capable of designing innovative structures, working around constraints, and expanding what can be offered to clients.

• Highly analytical: You are fluent in complex financial models and think naturally in terms of downside cases, risk allocation, and structural mitigants.

• Strong communicator with executive presence: You explain complexity with clarity and conviction, and are comfortable engaging directly with senior counterparties and stakeholders.

• Commercial and relationship-driven: You build strong relationships, develop trust quickly, and can position differentiated financial solutions in competitive institutional markets.

• Team-oriented operator: You operate with high ownership and low ego, and elevate the performance of the teams around you.

• Technology-oriented: You are excited about leveraging SALO, our proprietary, AI-powered underwriting platform that enhances your judgment and scales your impact.

• Collateral insight: You understand how credit support is structured (e.g., letters of credit, surety bonds) in renewable energy transactions.
