Senior Manager/Director of Project Finance
Pacifico Energy GroupAbout us:
Pacifico Energy is building out the finance function needed to fund its pipeline of multi-gigawatt power-for-AI generation projects. The company's Chief Investment Officer brings deep data center capital markets, M&A, and investor-relationship leadership; this role complements that strength by bringing the hands-on power and energy expertise needed to finance Pacifico's private grid generation assets across both the debt and equity sides of the capital stack.
Reporting to the Chief Investment Officer, the Senior Manager/Director of Project Finance is her primary execution resource on power-specific financing — structuring and closing the debt and equity for Pacifico's gas-fired AI developments, renewable, and storage projects, and translating development, procurement, and construction milestones into bankable financing structures. It bridges the CIO's strategic capital markets leadership and the technical, domain-specific demands of the company's power portfolio with real hands-on execution experience. This role is onsite in our Dallas office. The level of this position will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, technical expertise, and track record executing power and energy project financings.
What you get to do:
Structure, negotiate, and close non-recourse project finance (construction and term debt) for Pacifico's gas-fired AI developments, renewable, and storage generation assets.
Run the full lender process end to end: outreach, information memoranda, credit committee presentations, documentation negotiation, and closing.
Structure and execute the equity side —JV and co-investment arrangements, tax equity partnerships, and equity sizing against project economics.
Build, audit, and maintain project finance models with detailed construction draws and operating-period waterfalls.
Support the CIO on capital markets strategy and investor materials, and manage day-to-day lender and investor relationships
Partner with development, EPC, and engineering to translate technical milestones into financing triggers, draw schedules, and reserve requirements, and with accounting to manage covenant compliance and reporting
