The Role

We’re seeking an experienced and high-caliber structured finance professional to join our Capital Markets team as a director focused on debt strategies and structured capital solutions.

This is a critical role focused on the design, execution, and management of Lambda’s project financings. You will be responsible for shaping and executing multi-billion-dollar GPU and data center financing strategies, including asset-backed structures, recourse and non-recourse SPVs, and other bespoke facilities.

You’ll work closely with the CFO, Head of Capital Markets, and external counterparties (banks, credit funds, advisors, legal counsel, etc.) to ensure Lambda maintains a best-in-class capital stack that supports our rapid infrastructure expansion.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and execute 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)

  • Warehouse facilities

  • Equipment leases and lease sale-backs

  • HY bonds, public convertible notes, etc.

  • Hybrid/equity-linked instruments

• Lead deal structuring and recommend financing solutions to the executive team

• Interface with lenders, bankers, and advisors

• Own deal-level cash flow waterfall modeling and risk tranching

• Partner with Legal and Tax to evaluate and implement optimal legal entity structures, intercompany agreements, and security arrangements

• Collaborate with Sales, Accounting, FP&A, and Treasury to operationalize financing arrangements and ensure accurate forecasting, compliance, and reporting

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

• Stay current on capital markets trends, credit appetite, and macro factors influencing cost of capital

• Work with the Head of Capital Markets to develop and maintain Lambda’s long-term debt strategy, liquidity forecasting, and covenant optimization

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in structured finance focused roles at:

  • Investment banks (structured products, asset finance, securitization, leveraged finance, or DCM with structured credit focus)

  • Private credit or direct lending platforms with expertise in asset-backed or bespoke financing structures

  • Credit-focused hedge funds or buy-side investment firms with exposure to structured credit, specialty finance, or capital solutions

• Deep expertise in structured credit, project finance, and corporate finance, including the design and execution of complex secured and unsecured debt transactions

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

• Proven experience negotiating credit agreements and managing multi-party financing transactions

• Exceptional modeling, communication, and project management skills

• Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment without relying on large support teams

• Self-starter who thrives on solving problems directly, not delegating them—willing to go deep into documentation, models, and deal mechanics
  JD, JD/MBA, or experience working closely with legal teams is a strong plus

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