**Financial Analyst - Accounts Payable**

**INTRODUCTION**

Generate Upcycle team is hiring a permanent Full-time **Financial Analyst - Accounts Payable** to support the main area of Accounts Payable/Cash-out process and all related functions for both our London, ON and Drumbo, ON sites. Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will be a critical member of our team, and your work will be imperative to the successful growth of the business.

**ABOUT GENERATE UPCYCLE**

Generate Upcycle has emerged as a leader in the high-growth sustainable infrastructure market, having built a highly differentiated investment and operating platform with a track record of strong risk-adjusted returns and significant, long-term institutional investor support.

The last several decades have ushered in a dramatic rise in demand for natural resources like energy, water, food, and materials. As a result, trillions of dollars of investment have gone into resource-related technologies to reduce the cost of producing and using those resources. McKinsey is calling this the “Resource Revolution” - how can we use technology to do more with less of our natural resources? Thanks to these now-standard resource-related technologies, distributed, networked infrastructure is the most cost-effective and reliable way to produce critical resources (energy, food, water, materials). We believe that we can solve the world’s resource issues and don’t need to reinvent the world. We need to rebuild it. While some focus on finding new and revolutionary tools, we rebuild resource systems with the high-impact, economic, and proven solutions we have today.

Until now, new energy asset finance (a $300B annual market) has been dominated by larger-scale projects that tend to attract traditional capital sources. Generate Upcycle on the other hand, is focused on being a capital partner to lower middle market project developers and solution providers that are typically overlooked by traditional financiers for a variety of reasons: asset size, underwriting complexity, project duration and perhaps above all, the recent increases in regulation and overhead for those banks and public-sector finance entities. As a long-term investor with truly permanent capital, Generate Upcycle provides a standardized origination and underwriting engine that results in profitable funding for these smaller deals and aggregates them to sufficient size for leverage, securitization, or other forms of liquidity.
