About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Portfolio Reporting and Compliance, to lead portfolio reporting and financing compliance at Solar Landscape. This leader will own the reporting and compliance function end to end, build and manage a team of analysts and accountants, and serve as the primary accounting and compliance contact for our lenders, tax equity investors, and auditors.
You will lead three connected areas:

- Compliance through the operating life. Own the compliance program for every financing vehicle across its operating life: covenant and DSCR testing, reserves, distributions and waterfalls, capital accounts, and recurring lender and investor reporting.
The ideal candidate combines partnership accounting expertise with proven people leadership. You will set policy, make judgment calls on complex structures, and partner with finance, legal, investments, subscriber management, and asset management. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to senior leadership and external capital providers as we scale a fast-growing, mission-driven renewable energy business.

Compliance through the operating life

- Ensure compliance with project agreements and regulatory and government requirements, and keep controls documented and tested.
Team leadership and process

- Build scalable processes, controls, and systems (including ERP and automation tools) so reporting and compliance keep pace with portfolio growth.
