Structured Finance & Investment Associate

Job Description

You will be instrumental in shaping how Alight funds and scales its projects by:

• Driving financing and investment workstreams from initial structuring and screening through execution.
• Owning and producing core deliverables such as financing models, structure analyses, valuations, and investment materials.
• Contributing to a strong, knowledge-driven team by sharing insights and continuously improving how we structure, model, and execute transactions. While your primary focus will be structured finance, you will also be involved in the broader investment process and cycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial modelling: Build, own, and refine detailed project finance and valuation models; act as a go-to resource within the team for financing and capital structure analysis.
• Structured finance raising: Support and lead the structuring and raising of third-party debt and equity at project and portfolio level, including senior non-recourse project finance, junior debt and other financing instruments.
• Investment analysis: Assess new opportunities in solar PV and storage across Alight's markets, with a particular focus on bankability and financing feasibility.
• Transaction execution: Support and lead workstreams cross-functionally across valuation, due diligence, financing, structuring, documentation (PPA, EPC, LMA-style financing agreements), and closing.
• Stakeholder management: Engage with lenders, investors, and advisors throughout transactions, including in negotiations and ongoing relationship management.

You will likely have 2-6 years of experience, gained in environments such as a Big Four, bank or advisory firm (with project finance / infrastructure focus) or an infrastructure fund or renewable developer/independent power producer (IPP).

Required Qualifications

• Strong financial modelling skills with substantial hands-on experience
• Ability to independently build and improve complex project finance models
• ~2-6+ years of relevant experience in investment or financing roles, ideally with renewables or infrastructure focus

What's in it for you?

• Find your passion and purpose

  At Alight, you'll make a real, tangible impact on a global scale by accelerating the transition to a fossil fuel-free world. Your work will be more than a job; it will be a meaningful contribution to ensuring the sustainability of our planet.

• Work from anywhere in Europe

  We're proud to have a flat and autonomous organizational culture where everyone takes accountability for their own work. You'll have the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in Europe, or you can decide to work hybrid/fully onsite at one of our offices in Stockholm, Madrid, Gothenburg, Paris or Malmö. We'll support your home office setup, including subsidies for equipment like adjustable desks and office chairs.

• Collaborate with a talented, diverse team

  To ensure we attract the best talent out there, we don't limit ourselves to a specific location. Alighters are based across Europe and our diverse backgrounds and skills complement each other well.

We know that having a diverse team drives better collective decisions and superior business performance. Today our gender split is 44/56, with 15 nationalities and employees in 6 countries.

• Be part of Alight's success

  At Alight, you'll be a part of an entrepreneurial culture in which you're encouraged to "think like an owner," which means that we trust you to call the shots and excel in your role. Many Alighters are also shareholders, and we believe in giving our employees incentives to create the best possible impact.

Historically we've regularly had warrant/option programs that give our employees the option to own a part of Alight. We also give our employees the option to buy shares when the opportunity arises (e.g. when any of our owners sells shares, we're not a listed company).

• Recharge when you need it

  As an Alighter, you'll have 30 days of paid vacation and the option to exchange public holiday days for other days off. We also offer market-leading insurance programs for all our employees, together with an annual wellness allowance of ???500 (5000 SEK).

At our HQ in Stockholm, we also have weekly activities like lunch runs and Thursday yoga sessions.

• Have fun together with a fantastic team

  While we take our role in driving the green transition seriously, we know how to have fun. We believe that a positive team spirit enhances our collective impact. Some examples of planned activities are Friday breakfast every second week, Guest lecturers with dinner, team dinners, and sports activities. But there are also a lot of spontaneous activities driven by our employees!

Each quarter we also have "Alight Next," our company-wide meetup, a two-day strategy day with workshops, lectures, and team building in which we focus on the next quarter. We also always have some fun activities planned during those meetup days, examples being ski trips, sailing, dinners, and parties

• Grow professionally and personally

  We're committed to helping you grow and embrace new areas of responsibility, whether vertically or horizontally.

It's common for our team members to be promoted to leadership roles or transition into entirely new domains. We have structured career coaching, internal training programs, performance reviews, and goal-setting frameworks to help you develop your career.
