About Renewa

Renewa is a leading land and infrastructure investor in the renewable energy industry. We help accelerate the transition to renewable energy by purchasing land, energy leases and royalty income – helping landowners achieve financial security and providing long-term capital solutions to project developers.

Renewa is managed by one of the most experienced infrastructure investment teams in the world, with $20 billion of infrastructure investments globally. Our experience, financial strength and innovative approach to capital solutions means we can make bold commitments and consistently deliver on our promises to landowners and project developers.


Our culture is highly collaborative, innovative, friendly and inclusive. We believe that everyone brings something to the table, and value everyone for their contributions. Each of our team members actively contributes to our purpose of Leading the Energy Transition from the Ground Up!

The Role

We're looking for a Director of Investment & Strategy to take the lead on high-impact transactions and help shape Renewa's investment direction. This is a senior seat at the table — you'll own deals end to end, influence how we deploy capital, and serve as a strategic thought partner to firm leadership. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love the complexity of energy markets, and want to build something meaningful, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

Deal Origination & Execution

  • Lead the full deal lifecycle — from sourcing and structuring through due diligence, term negotiation, and close.
  • Originate and execute land and structured investment transactions across target energy and infrastructure verticals.
  • Build and maintain a robust pipeline of high-quality opportunities through proactive market engagement.

Financial Analysis & Modeling

  • Build and stress-test financial models for complex investment structures.
  • Conduct rigorous due diligence across technical, commercial, legal, and regulatory dimensions.
  • Prepare Investment Committee materials, portfolio reports, and Board-facing analyses with clarity and conviction.

Strategy & Portfolio Management

  • Contribute to firm-wide investment strategy, portfolio construction, and capital deployment thesis.
  • Monitor portfolio performance and proactively identify value creation and risk mitigation opportunities.
  • Operate as a senior thought partner to firm leadership on strategy, market positioning, and investor relations.

Relationships & Market Presence

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with developers, IPPs, utilities, operators, and other key counterparties.
  • Represent Renewa credibly across industry events, counterparty meetings, and capital markets conversations.
Qualifications
  • 7–10+ years of experience in energy/infrastructure investing, project finance, or investment banking.
  • Deep commercial acumen with the ability to structure creative solutions in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
  • Exceptional financial modeling, analytical, and written communication skills.
  • Direct experience with land structures — ground leases, easements, and options agreements — strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with power and renewables markets, offtake structures, interconnection, and project development cycles.
  • Self-starter who can operate independently and move deals forward without hand-holding.
  • Low ego, high output — someone who cares about the work, not the title.
