Head of Tax Credits & Capital Markets

About the company:

Ever.green is a climate startup based in Seattle on a mission to accelerate the transition to clean energy by bringing corporate capital to renewable energy projects. We are building a marketplace for investment tax credits that fund clean energy projects, through which tax credit buyers can make a financial return, and long-term contracts for high-impact Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that help stand up new solar projects on dirty grids so buyers can meet their sustainability goals. Both of these solutions flow capital to clean energy projects that need it, speeding up financing and deployment, and ultimately reducing reliance on fossil fuels. We’re a small, nimble team made up of energy executives, tech veterans, designers, and software engineers. We’re lucky to be supported by amazing investors, and we are excited to be growing our team.
