Project Finance Associate

About Giga Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you. Why join Giga The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. The Impact : Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more. The Moment : AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening. What you’ll do The AI infrastructure buildout is the largest capital deployment cycle since the Industrial Revolution. Hundreds of billions of dollars will flow into power and data center assets over the next decade, and Giga is building the financing playbooks that will define how this industry gets funded. This role puts you at the center of that — early. As a Project Finance Associate , you will support capital formation across Giga's growing portfolio of power generation and data center assets. You'll work directly with senior leadership on live deal execution, build and own the financial models that go in front of lenders and investment committees, and get hands-on exposure to the full capital stack — from non-recourse debt and construction financing to tax equity and sponsor equity. You'll grow into a dealmaker by doing the work, not watching it. Where you’ll work This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays. That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs and expect to find this talent in NYC. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works. Responsibilities Support deal execution across the full project finance lifecycle — from initial underwriting and lender diligence to term sheet negotiation, closing, and post-close compliance. Own financial modeling — build and maintain project finance models from scratch, sculpt debt against complex cash flows, and stress-test assumptions ahead of credit committee and lender review. Assist in structuring capital solutions across the stack — senior debt, construction financing, tax equity, back-leverage, and holdco facilities — under the direction of senior team members. Prepare lender and investor-facing materials — information memoranda, financial presentations, project summaries, and credit narratives that tell Giga's story clearly and credibly. Support lender and investor relationship management — coordinate diligence requests, track open items, and maintain organized deal data rooms across active transactions. Drive internal financial infrastructure — help build and refine model templates, underwriting standards, reporting cadences, and lender compliance tracking systems as deal volume grows. Coordinate across legal, engineering, and operations on deal workstreams — manage timelines, consolidate inputs, and keep transactions moving. Stay current on market conditions — track financing trends, benchmark terms, and flag relevant developments in power, data center, and infrastructure finance markets. Requirements 2–5 years of experience in project finance, structured finance, infrastructure finance, or investment banking with meaningful exposure to infrastructure or…
