The Role

We’re seeking a high-caliber finance professional to join our Corporate Development team as an associate focused on capital formation and strategic transactions.

This is a critical role focused on the execution of Lambda’s project financings and partnerships. You will be responsible for executing multi-billion-dollar GPU and data center funding strategies as well as supporting Lambda’s strategic investments in the AI infrastructure market.

You’ll work closely with the CFO, Head of Corporate Development & Capital Markets, as well as external counterparties (banks, credit funds, advisors, legal counsel, etc.) to ensure Lambda’s rapid expansion.

What You’ll Do

• Model, execute, and present on complex financing structures, including:

  • Asset-backed loans (ABL / ABS)

  • SPVs and bankruptcy-remote entities

  • Secured and unsecured term loans and revolvers

  • Receivable purchase facilities (RFP) and warehouse facilities

  • HY bonds, public convertible notes, etc.

  • Hybrid/equity-linked instruments

• Support deal structuring and recommend solutions to the executive team

• Interface with lenders, bankers, advisors, strategic partners, and founders

• Own deal-level financial models including cash flow waterfalls, merger models, and potential investment return models

• Prepare board-facing materials and analysis to support transaction decisions

• While this is primarily a Capital Markets focused role, candidates should also demonstrate the ability to evaluate M&A and strategic investment opportunities in the AI Infrastructure market

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of experience in investment banking, specifically focused on digital infrastructure, debt capital markets, or structured products roles

• Expertise in project finance, including the design and execution of complex secured and unsecured debt transactions

• Fundamental understanding of legal entity structuring, intercompany dynamics, and credit risk mitigation techniques

• Experience supporting credit agreement negotiation and managing due diligence for multi-party financing transactions

• Exceptional modeling, communication, and project management skills

• Self-starter who thrives on solving problems directly, not delegating them—willing to go deep into documentation, models, and deal mechanics

• Experience in capital-intensive industries (data centers, infrastructure, cloud, semis, telecom, renewables, etc.) preferred
