Directeur financier (H/F)

Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today - we're changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power - delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America's energy and future right where it's needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we're reshaping how - and how fast - energy gets built in the U.S.

Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy's Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.

Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.

We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously - but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we're collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other - whether that's troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.

If you're looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment - and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. - we'd love to meet you.

About The Role

Solar Landscape is hiring a senior leader to sit at the center of enterprise decision-making-owning the analytical frameworks, planning processes, and strategic insights that guide how the company grows, invests, and allocates capital.

This role operates at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations. You will partner directly with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to evaluate growth opportunities, shape capital deployment decisions, and build the systems that translate a rapidly scaling business into clear, actionable insight.

This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex, unstructured problems, and can connect detailed analysis to real-world business outcomes. You'll work across development, operations, structured finance, and capital markets to ensure the company is making the right decisions-quickly and with conviction.

This role is based in the Northeast. Time in office is not required but strongly preferred.
