Business Development Associate Jobs

At Evergrow, we seek to build and sustain a carbon-neutral world. We're fulfilling this mission by making financing accessible for those creating low-carbon infrastructure and technology (e.g., wind, solar, renewable natural gas). The new climate bill passed by Congress last summer is a game-changer for renewable energy project developers, and we are building solutions to ensure they can take advantage of associated financial benefits. Our transparency and speed materially lowers transaction costs and helps more projects get built, ultimately accelerating decarbonization.

Our team has spent time at leading companies (e.g., Google, BCG, McKinsey & Co., D.E. Shaw, Pinterest) and academic institutions (e.g., Columbia, MIT, Stanford, Princeton). We are backed by leading investors from Silicon Valley and beyond, including XYZ Venture Capital, Congruent Ventures, First Round Capital, Garuda Ventures, My Climate Journey, Skyview Ventures, and founders and senior executives from Plaid, Brex, Twitch, Instacart, Charm Industrial, Living Carbon, and Bridgewater Associates.

You don't need to match every listed requirement to apply for a position, and we especially encourage individuals with traditionally under-represented backgrounds to apply. In particular, we are seeking people of color, women, those with disabilities, and those who identify as LGBTQIA to join our team. We want to build a company with diverse perspectives because we know they make our team stronger and better equipped to serve all decarbonization stakeholders.

It’s an especially exciting time to join Evergrow. Broadly, the entire renewable energy finance ecosystem will be establishing new norms over the next 6-18 months that will define the industry for years to come. Specifically at Evergrow, we’ve signed our first clients and are working hard to scale the business. As an Associate on the Business Development team, you’ll be part of the tight-knit team delivering for these clients, bringing on new ones, and building systems to do more of both.

We work with a wide variety of client stakeholders, not only renewable energy project developers, but also corporate tax, treasury, and net-zero departments, investment funds, brokers, and more. You’ll work closely with our clients at every stage - manage warm and cold outreach to prospects, nurture them to become partners, and tailor our products to meet their needs.

Evergrow is an early stage startup, so you should expect change, ambiguity, and the opportunity to define what we do and how we do it. We operate predominantly in-person so that we can collaborate, solve problems, and have fun together. We’re passionate and optimistic about solving the climate crisis and are excited to add more people with that mindset to the team.

We believe there are many reasons to join us, but they boil down to 3 key points:

We offer premium benefits to keep our team happy and healthy:

Top-tier health, dental, and vision insurance

401(k)‍

New laptop / equipment of your choice

Daily lunch on us

Flexible vacation time

Regular team retreats

Dog-friendly office in the Ferry Building

Visa and / or green card sponsorship (our CEO's first startup focused on streamlining immigration!)

This role is full-time and based on-site in either San Francisco or Los Angeles. We're a small, tight-knit team right now and prefer to work in the office so we can go faster, build trust, and solve complex problems together. That being said, we know life happens, so we've reserved one day a week to work from home as needed.

Will you help me relocate? Yes! If you're based elsewhere in the U.S. (or internationally and U.S. visa eligible), we're happy to help you move and to cover relocation costs.
