The candidate we are looking for
The Funding Manager is a key role in Sun Exchange. This role is responsible for working with existing corporate funding partners who fund projects developed with Sun Exchange. In addition to working with existing funding partners this role will work closely with the Head of Business Development and CEO to develop new project funding relationships either for existing pipelines and verticals and/or for new verticals and project types.
This role will report directly to the Head of Business Development but will also work closely with the CEO and collaborate across both the BD, Engineering, Legal and Finance teams.
This is a great opportunity for an individual who enjoys a dynamic and active role that engages with many stakeholders. Sun Exchange has recently pivoted to focus exclusively on corporate funding therefore this role has the potential to grow in importance and have impact on the overall strategic directions and opportunities the company explores.
Key areas of competency
Ideally, the individual will have experience working with deal makers, funding and/or corporate finance. You will work with existing funding partners – where the terms and requirements are pre-determined for funding – meeting with these partners on a regular basis and updating them on new pipeline opportunities and working to close funding on existing opportunities and close out funding milestones on projects in construction. You will also work closely with the BD team to develop new verticals and project types/sizes and the associated/required funding needs – this will be the deal-making side of the role. On this side, you will also work with the CEO and support larger equity funding and other funding requirements.
