The Associate will be expected to lead transaction structuring, negotiation, and closing with meaningful independence — leveraging prior transactional experience to contribute immediately. The role sits at the intersection of project finance, energy transition policy, and institutional portfolio management, offering a distinctive platform to shape a high-growth mandate that scales across LMI’s portfolio.

Counterparty Relationships & Origination: Own and deepen relationships with renewable energy developers, syndicators and developers, and other counterparties across all three sub-strategies — serving as a primary point of contact for ongoing deal flow and market intelligence. Leverage existing market relationships to contribute to pipeline origination and identify opportunities that align with LMI’s tax capacity, return objectives, and social impact priorities. Enterprise Collaboration & Citizenship: Operate with an owner’s mindset — aligning TDI workstreams with LMI’s broader organizational goals, speaking up with innovative ideas, and seeking opportunities to step up beyond role.
