Strategic Finance Manager

Strategic Finance Manager Paris, France - Permanent, Full-Time Apply Why Join Epyr's Finance Team

Impact. Epyr aims to make decarbonized industrial heat cost-competitive, because we are convinced that this is what will enable large-scale deployment. You will build the financing model that enables the transition from a single unit to a fleet.

Real Responsibility. Reporting directly to the co-founders, you’ll lead fundraising efforts, project financing, and securing public funding—all of which will have a direct impact on Epyr’s growth trajectory.

Scale-up momentum. A €15 million Series A round closed in July 2026 is funding industrialization, with several projects in contract negotiations and the ambition to build a fleet of units in France and Europe.

A small, senior team. Short decision-making cycles, direct access to the founders, and a culture that values rigor and pragmatism over processes.

Strategic financing: prepare and run Epyr's next funding rounds, from the business plan and investor materials to due diligence. Shape Epyr's target financial operating model, including how PlatformCo and AssetCos interact.

Project financing structuring: structure the funding of our projects across lending options (sale and leaseback, project finance, credit lines, refinancing), cash flow mechanics (equity injection, shareholder loans, cash sweep rules, equity recycling) and co-investor arrangements (minority or majority stakes).

Lead discussions and build relationships with banks and co-investors. Represent the financing perspective in commercial discussions so that projects are bankable. Structure Epyr's bank funding at company level (construction financing, corporate loans).

Public funding: identify and monitor the most relevant EU and French programmes, for both Epyr's development and project launches.

Prepare each planned application by structuring its storytelling, steer the key applications with support from the Engineering, Energy and GTM teams, and follow up on awarded programmes.

Financial steering and business support: build Epyr's business plan, budget and cash forecasts, and prepare the monthly reporting for the board and investors. Own Epyr's financial operations, including the interface with chartered accountants and SPV management.

Support the GTM and Energy teams on the business cases behind client offers, and help them improve their tools from a financial standpoint.

We are looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to build and run the financial engine behind Epyr's scale-up. Our path goes from venture funding to infrastructure-style finance, with SPVs, project debt and infrastructure funds. Reporting directly to the co-founders, you will work across equity, debt, public funding and business steering. The role is hands-on: you will build the models, negotiate with counterparties and shape the deals, not only manage the process.
