ON.energy is setting the standard for large load interconnection. ON’s patented AI UPS™ is a medium-voltage UPS that serves as a firewall, protecting the data center from the grid, and the grid from the data center. With multiple gigawatts currently under construction, we are enabling grid-safe data centers.

The Project Finance Specialist/Chief of Staff to the CIO is a deal-first role. You will work directly with ON.energy's Chief Investment Officer, who owns capital formation and deployment for the company: topco equity and debt, project finance, tax equity and credit transfers, and the financing structures behind our AI UPS-as-a-Service offering for neocloud and hyperscale customers.

Roughly 70% of your time is deal execution: building models, running financing processes, and negotiating alongside the CIO with a specific focus on Project Finance of ON.energy’s proprietary AI.UPS technology. The other 30% is running the Office of the CIO: setting priorities, preparing board and investor materials, and driving follow-through across Finance, Legal, Commercial, and Engineering.

This is a seat at the center of how ON.energy funds a multi-gigawatt build-out. You will see every major capital decision the company makes, and you will be expected to help shape them.
