Originations Analyst
The Company:
King Energy is a leader in rooftop solar and battery storage, serving commercial and industrial properties across the United States.
Powered by King Energy’s OneBill software platform and backed by significant venture capital and project financing investment, we deploy solar on commercial rooftops and provide the energy generated to both local tenants and members of the broader community.
Our goal is to generate financial value for commercial property owners, their tenants, and the public at large by engaging in rooftop leases that increase a property’s net operating income and by saving tenants and local residents money on their energy bills.
King Energy solar programs are deployed at no cost to property owners or their tenants, generating financial, social and environmental benefits to the property and to the community.

You will work closely with our Sales team to build financial models using our BOLT pricing model, ensuring that initial proposals are structured for rapid financing.
Your primary objective is to ensure that leases are "finance-ready" when they reach the next stage of the pipeline.

- Proven project management experience with the ability to track assets from site control through to post-PTO performance
- Direct experience in the energy sector or a strong understanding of renewable energy financial drivers
- Research-oriented mindset with a track record of investigating and resolving project-level financial discrepancies
- Experience handling complex documentation or transaction cycles within a fast-paced environment
- Understanding of how specific lease terms impact the long-term bankability of distributed energy resources
