Who You Are
You are an experienced treasury professional who wants ownership without distance from the work. You have the judgment and experience to advise a CFO, communicate confidently with lenders and banking partners, and understand the implications of complex financing structures - but you are equally comfortable opening the spreadsheet, logging into the bank portal, reconciling a cash position, reviewing a covenant calculation, or preparing a lender package yourself.
You don't need a large team to be effective. You know how to independently organize a treasury function, determine what needs attention, and get the work done.
You are highly analytical and detail-oriented, but you also understand the larger business context behind the numbers. You recognize how development schedules, acquisitions, construction activity, financing commitments, and operating performance ultimately affect cash and liquidity.
You thrive in an environment where the business may be growing faster than its infrastructure. Rather than waiting for perfect systems or processes, you build practical solutions that work today and can scale tomorrow.
Most importantly, you take ownership. If something falls within treasury, you make sure it gets done accurately, thoughtfully, and on time.
Why Blue Sky Utility / Nofar USA
This role offers the opportunity to own a critical finance function while remaining directly involved in the work.
The Director, Treasury will work closely with the CFO and senior leadership and have meaningful exposure to the financing, acquisition, development, and operation of a growing U.S. renewable energy portfolio.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Own treasury end-to-end rather than manage one narrow piece of a larger organization.
- Work directly with the CFO on liquidity, financing, capital planning, and financial risk.
- Participate in complex renewable energy financings, acquisitions, and strategic transactions.
- Build treasury processes and infrastructure as the company's portfolio grows.
- Develop direct relationships with banks, lenders, brokers, surety providers, and other financial institutions.
- Work across corporate and project-level structures in a highly transaction-oriented environment.
- Have significant visibility and impact within a lean, entrepreneurial organization.
Benefits
What We Offer
A Lean Team Where Your Work Actually Matters
We operate with a lean, highly capable team, which means there aren't layers of people between you and the work that matters. You'll have real ownership, direct access to decision-makers, and the opportunity to influence how we build and grow the business. If you want to be a meaningful voice rather than a small part of a very large machine, you'll find that opportunity here.
A Fast Pace and a High Bar
We believe in being transparent about what it's like to work here: we move quickly, the workload can be demanding, and our expectations are high. This is an environment for people who enjoy being challenged, solving problems, taking initiative, and figuring things out as we grow. In return, you'll gain exposure, responsibility, and influence that can take years to earn in a more traditional organization.
Who Thrives Here
The people who do best at Blue Sky are proactive, resourceful, and comfortable taking ownership. They don't wait to be told what to do next, and they're willing to step outside the boundaries of a job description when the business needs it. They care about outcomes more than watching the clock, bring solutions instead of simply identifying problems, and genuinely enjoy the energy - and occasional ambiguity - that comes with building a growing company. If you're a go-getter who wants room to run, you'll fit in well here.
Benefits That Invest in You
We offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, short-term disability, life insurance, and a 401(k) with a generous 6% company match.
Hybrid, With Purpose
We believe there is real value in being together. Our hybrid model creates regular opportunities for in-person collaboration, faster decision-making, and stronger relationships while still providing flexibility outside of the office.
What to Expect From Our Hiring Process
We're Choosy - On Purpose.
We fiercely protect the culture we've built, and our hiring process reflects that. Skills and experience matter, but so does how you work, how you collaborate, and what you'll add to the team. We want to get to know the person behind the résumé - and we want you to have plenty of opportunity to get to know us, too.
Our typical hiring process looks like this:
HR Screen → Hiring Manager Interview → Culture Assessment → Case Study, when applicable → Cross-Team Interview → CEO Meet & Greet → Offer
Not every role requires a case study, but for certain positions we use one to better understand how you think, approach problems, and tackle the type of work you would actually be doing here.
It Sounds Like a Lot. It Doesn't Take a Lot of Time.
We're deliberate in our hiring decisions, but we're also decisive. Our average turnaround from initial HR screen to offer is less than two weeks. We move quickly and respect that candidates have jobs, lives, and other opportunities in motion.
You'll Always Know Where You Stand.
Clear communication is an important part of our candidate experience. We'll be transparent about the process and expectations from the beginning, keep you informed as you move through each stage, and close the loop when a decision has been made. We believe every candidate deserves clarity and respect for the time they invest in getting to know us.
