The Role


We’re looking for a Financial Modeling and Research Expert who will develop and help build financial models across different land uses—including solar development, timber, and carbon capture. You’ll help define how economic value is measured and realized across diverse land assets, working closely with our data and product teams.

This role is ideal for someone who’s comfortable moving between research, data, and modeling, and who’s excited about applying their analytical skills in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment.


What You’ll Do


  • Research and evaluate land use models across sectors, using online research, seminars, and professional networks.

  • Build Excel-based financial models for IRR, NPV, cash flows, and other key metrics.

  • Source, validate, and manage datasets that power these models.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to translate insights into scalable frameworks for decision-making.


What We’re Looking For


  • Experience in project finance — backgrounds in infrastructure, natural capital, or real estate are a strong fit.

  • Experience executing transactions, whether on a corporate finance team, at a private credit/equity firm, or an investment bank.

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.

  • Early-career professionals or graduate students (MBA or MSc in Finance) with relevant experience are encouraged to apply.

  • Curiosity about AI, software, and climate technology.


Nice to Have (Not Required)


  • Experience working with large datasets or public/government data.

  • Comfort manipulating complex datasets for modeling.

  • Established expert network relevant to land-based finance or natural capital.


Why Join Us


  • Competitive compensation.

  • Flexible schedules with optional hybrid in-office collaboration.

  • A culture of learning and growth in an innovative, fast-paced environment.

  • Dedicated commitment to invest in AI tooling and growth opportunities.
