About the Role
The Finance Analyst plays a critical support role within MEI’s Debt Finance function, coordinating financing due diligence across MEI’s portfolio of renewable energy assets. This role is responsible for maintaining transaction data rooms, tracking lender and lender’s counsel requirements, and ensuring project information moves efficiently from collection through funding. Working cross-functionally with Development, Real Estate, Legal, Engineering, Construction, and Asset Management — as well as external parties such as surveyors, developers, contractors, and consultants — the Finance Analyst keeps financing workstreams organized, on schedule, and audit-ready. This is a highly cross-functional, process-oriented role suited to someone who is organized, detail-driven, and comfortable managing multiple moving pieces at once.
