Sparkfund is a utility services company that deploys distributed capacity infrastructure (front-of-the-meter batteries and gensets) to help utilities, energy majors, and large-load customers meet grid demand, support reliability, and reduce rates. The company has deployed over 3,200 projects across 43 states with more than 300MW of energized assets.
As a Finance Analyst, you will own the financial modeling function that supports Sparkfund's Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) deal pricing and structuring. You will build, maintain, and audit the programmatic pricing models used across DCP programs, and develop bespoke financial models for one-off deal structures that fall outside existing templates.
Your core responsibilities include:
**Pricing and Financial Modeling**
- Build, audit, and maintain programmatic pricing models used to structure and price deals across DCP programs
- Update and refine existing models as program economics, deal structures, or market conditions change
- Build bespoke financial models for one-off pricing structures or deal structures outside existing templates
**Cross-Functional Assumption Validation**
- Partner with Business Development, Program, and Project teams to source cost, revenue, timing, and financing assumptions that feed pricing models
- Validate assumptions against underlying source data and flag discrepancies before they reach pricing outputs
- Translate model outputs into terms non-finance stakeholders can use to structure and negotiate deals
You will report to the Director of Corporate Finance. Success means maintaining a set of pricing models that are accurate and able to hold up under review from Finance leadership and deal counterparts. The role sits at the intersection of Finance and deal teams, requiring both technical rigor and clear communication across functions.
The company is remote-first with emerging hub offices in Denver, Minneapolis, and Washington, DC. This role is fully remote with occasional travel for team meetings and company gatherings. There is a preference for candidates in the New York City metro area or elsewhere on the East Coast for time zone alignment with Finance and deal teams.
**Requirements**
- 1–3 years of experience in financial modeling, corporate finance, or a related quantitative role
- Strong technical modeling skills, including building, auditing, and troubleshooting complex Excel models from scratch
- Working knowledge of DCF analysis, capital stack construction (debt, equity, mezzanine), and discount rate and cost of capital concepts
- Fluency in IRR, NPV, and other return metrics used to evaluate deal economics
- Strong attention to detail and comfort validating assumptions across multiple sources
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to translate model output for people who don't work in finance
- Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or another quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience
**Nice to Have**
- Familiarity with project finance structures or energy asset modeling
- Experience in infrastructure, energy, or utility-facing businesses
- Experience building models that support live deal negotiations
