## Description

As the Technical Accounting Lead for Energy Deal Advisory and Investments, you will serve as a strategic subject-matter expert guiding the business through cutting-edge commercial power transactions, clean energy procurement, and complex asset investments. In this role, you will advise and support cross-functional partners—including product area controllership, finance, legal, and energy procurement teams—by analyzing technical accounting implications and evaluating non-standard agreements under various US GAAP topics (including ASC 810, ASC 815, ASC 842, and ASC 321/323) to optimize agreement outcomes while ensuring compliance and safeguarding accounting integrity.

This dedicated deal advisory and research role moves beyond routine month-end reporting, placing you at the front lines of structuring Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs/VPPAs), Energy Supply Agreements (ESAs), Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) arrangements, and direct equity investments in clean energy infrastructure. You will solve intellectually stimulating, specialized accounting puzzles, draft formal technical accounting position papers, and present strategic recommendations directly to executive leadership, commercial deal leads, and external auditors. If you grow on navigating the codification, architecting robust accounting positions, and influencing high-value energy transactions before agreements are executed, this role offers exceptional visibility and cross-functional impact.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.  

US: $128000 - $187000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
