Job Description

Yellow Door Energy is looking to appoint a Senior Manager - Structured Finance to play a central role in the execution of project finance and debt transactions across its growing renewable energy portfolio.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for an experienced project finance professional with a strong track record in non-recourse debt raising, transaction execution, and lender engagement within the renewable energy or utility sector. The role is based in Dubai and reports to the VP - Structured Finance and M&A, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership on live transactions.
The position is best suited to someone who has already closed multiple project finance transactions and wants to remain close to execution rather than move into a purely advisory or high-level oversight role.
About Us:
Yellow Door Energy is a leading sustainable energy partner for commercial and industrial customers across the Middle East and South Africa. The company develops, owns, and operates long-term renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions and is backed by institutional shareholders including IFC, Actis, Mitsui & Co., and APICORP.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading detailed financial analysis of financing options for individual projects and portfolios, assessing optimal debt structures, pricing, tenor, covenants, and risk allocation
Driving the execution of non-recourse project finance transactions, including coordinating all internal and external workstreams through to financial close
Managing lender-facing processes, including initial structuring discussions, due diligence, credit approvals, documentation negotiation, and closing mechanics
Reviewing, validating, updating, and stress-testing financial models used in debt raising, including sensitivity analysis, downside cases, and covenant compliance
Coordinating and managing external advisors across legal, technical, insurance, tax, and commercial due diligence to ensure efficient and timely execution
Working closely with internal Business Development, Technical, Risk, and Legal teams to consolidate all project inputs into bankable, lender-ready financing structures
Supporting the preparation of investment committee materials, credit papers, and internal approvals for financing and investment decisions
Engaging directly with lenders, equity partners, and other financing counterparties across multiple jurisdictions, supporting relationship management and transaction execution
Supporting the structuring and execution of portfolio-level financings and refinancing activities where applicable
Contributing to selected M&A transactions, including financial analysis, transaction execution support, and coordination with advisors
Monitoring transaction timelines, deliverables, and conditions precedent to ensure successful and timely financial close
This role requires comfort operating across multiple live transactions in parallel, balancing commercial priorities, lender requirements, and internal governance processes.
