Project Financial Controller

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Alight Full time 900,000 - 1,200,000 per year

Are you a finance professional eager to drive real impact in the renewable energy transition?

Welcome to Alight — we're accelerating the shift to clean energy by building and operating solar and battery storage (BESS) assets for businesses across Europe. Our approach is financially sound, smart, and scalable — and we're just getting started.

As we grow, we're looking for a Project Financial Controller to help steer the financial success of our renewable energy portfolio. You'll join a tight-knit financial asset management function (currently a one-person powerhouse) and collaborate closely with our Technical Asset Management, Procurement & Construction, and Investment & Finance teams.

In this role, you'll be hands-on across the full lifecycle of our solar PV and BESS assets — from financial close and construction to long-term operations. It's a chance to shape how we manage our assets as we scale, with real ownership, autonomy, and influence.

 

Your impact

As a Project Financial Controller, you'll be the financial cornerstone of your assigned portfolio — ensuring each solar and battery storage (BESS) asset performs optimally while staying aligned with investor commitments and regulatory frameworks.

KEY OBJECTIVES & RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Control the financial performance of assigned renewable energy assets, including financial reporting, contractual obligations, and claims.
  • Support in contact with customers, ensuring financial clarity and responsiveness.
  • Ensure compliance with conditions necessary to maintain the revenue structures of assigned renewable assets.
  • Oversee monthly financial closures, including invoicing and payment processes.
  • Support the preparation of annual accounts and facilitate audit processes.
  • Support investor distributions with a focus on maximizing returns within the scope of financing agreements and compliance frameworks.
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly performance reports, including variance analysis against budgets and profit & loss, and deep dives into production, liquidated damages, insurance claims, and operational expenditure.
  • Contribute to the onboarding of new assets, ensuring service provisions are well-defined, appropriately priced, and supported by robust financial models.
  • Maintain oversight of all onboarded assets to ensure financial and operational integrity.
  • Provide internal reporting on asset performance for senior management, investors, and the Board through structured updates and ad hoc briefings.
We're looking for you

To be a good fit for this role, we think you thrive in a dynamic, fast-moving environment where financial and operational challenges come together. You bring a structured, analytical mindset and a proactive approach — always looking for smarter ways to drive performance and value.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • ~5 years of experience in finance, with solid experience in project accounting and controlling
  • Proven ability to manage transactions from origination through to execution
  • Exposure working with financial models and strong analytical capabilities
  • Understanding of project finance documentation and structuring
  • Experience in management accounting
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, with advanced Excel skills
  • Knowledge of PowerBI or other data visualization tools such as Tableau or Looker
  • Fluency in English and Swedish (written and spoken)
  • Location: Stockholm, Sweden
