Investment and/or Project Finance Manager

About us

We are MethaPlanet, a young climatetech company from The Hague. We develop decentralized digestion facilities that convert agricultural and new organic residual streams into green gas. We are currently working on our first industrial-scale plant near The Hague, and new locations are already in the pipeline.

In recent months, we have laid a solid foundation. We have secured the location for our first plant and are working with our partners toward the contractual and financial close of the project. Construction will follow, while we simultaneously develop new locations further.

For the next phase, we are looking for an Investment and/or Project Finance Manager (medior/senior): an entrepreneurial person who wants to bring a plant from development, through financing, to successful commissioning.

Your role

You will join a small team and work directly with management, your colleagues and many external parties. You will therefore take on significant responsibility and be the point of contact for a number of topics, both inside and outside the organization. One week you negotiate with a potential financier or contract party. The next week, you map out where the project stands, or find an external party for, for example, the technical due diligence.

As a small team, we build a lot together, so you will work three to four days a week at our office in The Hague. That is the fastest way to learn, and it is how we grow together as an organization.

What you will be doing

Below is the playing field. We are looking for someone who has already performed some of these tasks, or is keen to take them on together with colleagues. Does part of this match your experience or ambition? Then we would love to meet you.

1. Project financing. We raise senior and subordinated financing from banks, together with advisors. This includes the business case and the financial models, the information memorandum, the data room and guiding the due diligence.
2. Equity financing. We raise equity at project level and organize capital rounds at holding level (TopCo).
3. Drafting, negotiating and entering into contracts. Together with lawyers and advisors, we draft our project contracts, negotiate them and close them: feedstock, off-take and EPC contracts, and more.
4. Other project work. Arranging insurance, helping with subsidy applications and preparing presentations.
5. Project monitoring and investor reporting. You keep the financial model and business case in line with how the project develops, translate budget and progress into clear updates, and own the periodic reporting to equity parties and financiers. Detailed cost control and accounting are the responsibility of our controller.
6. Business development. We connect with new stakeholders and partners, build out the pipeline of new projects and develop them further, from initial feasibility to investment decision.
