Staff Accountant - Corporate Accounting

Company Description:

Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company is an independent power producer (IPP) and a leading climate-focused investment manager (IM), whose mission is to empower a sustainable world by connecting individuals and institutions with investments in clean energy. Since our founding in 2011, we’ve grown to over 200 employees in four offices—New York City, Portland, ME, Denver, CO, and Montpelier, VT—and other individual locations across the US, and have positioned ourselves as a market leader in energy transition, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure investments.

Greenbacker’s IPP business segment acquires, owns, and operates income-producing clean energy infrastructure projects (e.g., solar energy, wind power, energy storage) in communities across the country. These assets sell power under long-term contracts to high-credit-quality counterparties, including utilities, municipalities, and corporations. As of 2023, our IPP fleet comprises over 450 projects, representing 3.4 gigawatts of total clean energy production and storage capacity. Within our IM business segment, Greenbacker Capital Management (GCM) serves as the registered investment adviser to five funds focused on green power generation and the energy transition, including private equity investment in growth-stage clean energy companies, across a wide range of sustainable infrastructure and renewables sectors.

Drawing upon the firm’s expertise in renewable power generation, battery storage, and other green technologies, Greenbacker is expanding its IM business and launching a sustainable real estate fund with a focus on reducing buildings' carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, and building additional sources of renewable power. Greenbacker has hired a senior executive with over 20 years and $25 billion of commercial real estate principal investment experience to manage this new vehicle and is actively growing the real estate investment team.
