• 3+ years in infrastructure or project finance, private equity focused on physical assets (data centers, fiber, energy, or similar), or investment banking with an infrastructure focus — ideally a background that started in IB before moving into infrastructure PE
• Hands-on experience building complex financial models involving hardware procurement, colocation, energy infrastructure, or other capital-intensive physical assets
• Familiarity with the economics of GPU compute, data center operations, or cloud/neocloud business models — you understand what drives unit economics in compute infrastructure
• Experience structuring or raising debt financing and managing lender relationships; able to translate financial analysis directly into deal terms
• Ability to build financial frameworks from scratch where assumptions shift and data is incomplete — strong judgment on when to be precise vs. directional
• Comfort operating in a lean, high-trust startup team with direct founder access; you’d rather build the process than inherit one
