Manager, Portfolio Finance

Aypa Power, a Blackstone portfolio company, is a leading developer, owner, and operator of utility-scale energy storage and hybrid renewable projects that power our communities and cities. Our mission is to responsibly decarbonize the grid and make North American energy markets more affordable, sustainable, and efficient. Aypa is well-capitalized and uniquely positioned to lean forward on projects with well-suited deal structures to meet our customers’ needs. We have been at the forefront of energy storage development since our first energy storage project came online in 2018. As a leader in our industry, we have over 22 GW of utility-scale energy storage and hybrid renewable energy projects in development and 33 projects in operation or construction across North America. 

The Portfolio Finance Manager will report to the Senior Director of Portfolio Finance and take primary ownership of Aypa's $2B construction warehouse, the largest facility of its kind in energy storage. The Portfolio Finance team oversees $5B+ of existing financings growing $1–2B per annum, and this individual will be central to how that capital is deployed. As the portfolio scales, this role is expected to grow in scope and take on direct reports. This role is best suited for someone who has been through the full lifecycle of a construction credit facility. Not just the modeling, but the operational work of executing draws, managing lender relationships, and moving projects toward takeout.

• Lead project transitions from the warehouse into permanent financing structures — tax equity partnerships, term loans, and private placements — coordinating diligence, documentation, and closing;
• Maintain the warehouse financial model and provide FP&A support across the operating portfolio, including debt/tax equity model updates, and cash forecasting;
• Provide advice, best practices, and transaction support (as needed) to deal execution teams in the structuring and execution of financings;
• Serve as a day-to-day relationship contact for lenders, tax equity investors, and trustees during construction and operations; navigate amendments, consents, and waivers in partnership with legal and asset management;
• Manage the interest rate hedging program, including compliance and supporting accounting on hedge effectiveness analysis;
• Support ongoing planning and reporting requirements to Blackstone;
• Other duties as required or assigned. 

Key Qualifications: 

• Minimum 5+ years in infrastructure finance, asset management or FP&A work experience with meaningful renewable energy exposure;
• Hands-on experience managing the draw and disbursement process for a construction loan or warehouse facility;
• Undergraduate degree in engineering, finance, business, or accounting;  
• Technical understanding to support budgeting, forecasting, and financing;
• Ability to review and understand complex contracts, including technical, financial, and legal concepts with respect to major infrastructure projects;
• Financial modeling experience in energy or infrastructure is required;
• Familiarity with complex portfolio management;
• Ability to work and effectively communicate and influence other business partners;
• Advanced knowledge of MS Excel, PowerPoint, and PowerBI; ability to analyze and interpret data;
• Strong business acumen, analytical, and decision-making skills;
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal;
• Desire to work with an entrepreneurial and rapidly growing company and play an active role in shaping the trajectory of the business.
