Peak Energy

Job Title: Project Finance Manager

Location: Denver, CO

Department: Commercial

Reports to: Chief Strategy Officer

Position Type: Full-time

About the Company

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.

Sodium-Ion is cheap, readily available and safe, making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.

Our leadership team is powered by decades of expertise in scaling gigawatt-level innovation at world-class companies such as Tesla, Northvolt, Apple, Powin, Enovix, Zipline, Solid Power, and Fluence. We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.

We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.

 About the Job

You will own the project-level financial models that underpin investment decisions, financing negotiations, and partnership economics across Peak Energy’s portfolio. This is a hands-on role where your models will be used in real transactions—not shelved. You’ll work directly with the Chief Strategy Officer and CEO, and your work product will be seen by institutional investors, strategic partners, tax credit buyers, and lenders.

This is a high-impact role where your models directly shape strategy and capital allocation. You’ll work with an experienced team that has deep domain expertise in energy storage and project finance. This is a ground-floor opportunity at a company positioned at the intersection of two major trends: the energy storage buildout and the commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain project pro formas from early development through COD: revenue forecasts (capacity payments, energy arbitrage, ancillary services, resource adequacy), CapEx/OpEx assumptions, degradation and augmentation schedules, and terminal value.
• Model capital structures including tax equity (partnership flip, direct pay, transfer), preferred equity facilities, and project-level debt. Build waterfall distributions across complex multi-party structures.
• Support acquisition evaluation—take interconnection data, permitting status, offtake terms, and chemistry conversion assumptions and produce actionable go/no-go acquisition models on tight timelines.
• Analyze IRA incentive structures: ITC adders (energy community, domestic content), direct pay vs. transfer economics, and bonus credit qualification.
• Model CAISO market dynamics: tolling structures, merchant exposure, RA contract value, and curtailment scenarios relevant to sodium-ion’s positioning vs. lithium-ion.
• Prepare investor-facing outputs—clean, auditable models and summary materials for institutional capital partners, lenders, and insurance underwriters.
• Develop sensitivity and scenario analyses that articulate risk around a chemistry (sodium-ion) with a thinner bankable track record than lithium.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5–7 years in renewable energy or storage project finance—at a developer, IPP, infrastructure fund, or advisory firm.
• Demonstrated experience building project finance models that have been through investor or lender diligence (not just internal screening).
• Strong command of ITC/PTC mechanics post-IRA, including tax equity structures.
• Advanced Excel modeling skills; comfort with Python or similar for scenario automation and data analysis is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with CAISO markets, interconnection processes, or California regulatory landscape preferred.
• Ability to communicate model assumptions and outputs clearly to non-financial stakeholders and external counterparties.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with battery energy storage projects specifically (any chemistry).
• Exposure to project acquisition diligence or M&A in the energy space.
• Familiarity with tax credit insurance, transfer markets, or emerging IRA compliance guidance.

The salary range for this role is $140,000 - $200,000, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes flexible time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a strong 401(k) plan, and equity opportunities. Join us to thrive in a supportive environment while making a meaningful impact in the energy sector!  

At Peak Energy Technologies Inc., we believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace makes us a more capable, innovative, and competitive company. We welcome people who represent diversity in their backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and experiences. Peak Energy Technologies Inc. is an equal opportunity employer, aiming to reach our company’s full potential by cultivating an inclusive workforce.

Department: Finance 

Position Type: Full-Time 

About Peak Energy  

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.   

Sodium-Ion is cheap, readily available and safe, making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.    

Our leadership team is powered by decades of expertise in scaling gigawatt-level innovation at world-class companies such as Tesla, Northvolt, Apple, Powin, Enovix, Zipline, Solid Power, and Fluence. We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.    

We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.   

Position Summary 

Peak Energy is accelerating the transition to clean, reliable energy through advanced energy storage systems. We are seeking a Financial Analyst to join our Finance team as one of its earliest hires and help build the financial infrastructure that will carry Peak from early revenue through gigawatt-scale production. This role spans FP&A, strategic finance, and finance technology — you’ll assist with budget-to-actual reporting, support executive decision-making with models and analysis, and contribute to the AI and automation roadmap for Peak’s finance function. 

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, motivated, and eager to learn. Experience matters less than attitude - we’re looking for someone who genuinely wants to understand how a business works, isn’t afraid to dig into the details, and brings consistent effort and follow-through every day. As one of the first finance hires, you’ll learn how a startup builds its financial operating cadence from the ground up, with the opportunity to grow into ownership of key processes over time. The key to success in this role is willingness to work hard, demonstrate curiosity, and an appetite for growth. This role has significant growth opportunities. 

Key Responsibilities 

FP&A & Budget Management 

• Assist in building and maintaining Peak’s budget-to-actual tracking, reporting cadences, and variance analysis — learning to partner with department heads across Engineering, Supply Chain, Commercial, and Operations to translate operational plans into financial models. 

• Help prepare monthly financial packages and support the month-end close process, learning to write clear, actionable commentary that explains the “so what” behind the numbers. 

Strategic Finance 

• Support fundraising, investor reporting, and board materials; assist in building financial models for new projects, customer deals, and manufacturing scale-up scenarios. 

• Learn to analyze and improve unit economics, should-cost models, and cash flow projections that support executive decision-making on pricing, procurement, and capital allocation. 

Finance Technology & AI Roadmap 

• Contribute to defining the AI and automation roadmap for Peak’s finance function — suggesting where intelligent tooling can replace manual work in reporting, reconciliation, forecasting, and spend tracking. 

• Support the evaluation and implementation of finance software (ERP, FP&A platforms, expense management) and help build internal tools and workflows as the company scales from startup-stage systems to enterprise-grade infrastructure. 

Cross-Functional Partnership 

• Support operational teams as a finance resource — helping track project-level spend, assisting with purchase order workflows, and learning compliance requirements including 48E ITC tax credit tracking and investor deliverables. 

• Contribute to ad hoc strategic projects across the business; this is a startup, and the best ideas often come from the newest voices. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field. 

• 0–2 years of experience in finance, FP&A, accounting, consulting, or a related analytical role. Recent graduates with strong internship experience are encouraged to apply. 

• Comfortable in Excel/PowerPoint with a willingness to go deep — building models, writing formulas, and learning data tools over time. 

• Strong communicator who can distill financial information into clear takeaways for non-finance stakeholders. 

• Teachable and coachable — someone who takes feedback well, asks good questions, and is energized by learning new things in a fast-moving environment. 

• Intellectually curious about how AI and technology can transform finance — the kind of person already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude. 

• Bonus: SQL, BI tools (Tableau/Power BI/Looker), ERP systems, or exposure to hardware/energy/manufacturing environments. 

Our Core Values  

Speed Through Focus - Move fast but understand why. Focus on the goal, don't sacrifice quality.  
Mission Over Self - It's about the greater good; confident humility. Take ownership and accountability.  
Face the Brutal Truth - Transparency, honesty, big picture curiosity. Fearless decision making.  
Be a Good Person - Kindness, collaboration and teamwork  

Compensation & Benefits  

The salary range for this role is $70,000 - $90,000, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes flexible time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a strong 401(k) plan, and equity opportunities. Join us to thrive in a supportive environment while making a meaningful impact in the energy sector!
