Project Financial Controller

Are you a finance professional eager to drive real impact in the renewable energy transition?

Welcome to Alight - we're accelerating the shift to clean energy by building and operating solar and battery storage (BESS) assets for businesses across Europe. Our approach is financially sound, smart, and scalable - and we're just getting started.

As we grow, we're looking for a Project Financial Controller to help steer the financial success of our renewable energy portfolio.

In this role, you'll be hands-on across the full lifecycle of our solar PV and BESS assets - from financial close and construction to long-term operations. It's a chance to shape how we manage our assets as we scale, with real ownership, autonomy, and influence.

• Maintain oversight of all onboarded assets to ensure financial and operational integrity.
• Provide internal reporting on asset performance for senior management, investors, and the Board through structured updates and ad hoc briefings.
