About Canada Climate Capital
 
Canada Climate Capital ("CCC") is a new investment platform created to accelerate Canada's transition to a renewable future by providing capital solutions for small- and mid-sized climate infrastructure projects.
 
While billions in Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) are being deployed to fund renewable energy projects, most existing financing solutions serve only the largest projects. CCC fills this critical gap by unlocking ITC-secured financing for smaller, distributed clean energy projects. 
 
The Opportunity
 
CCC is seeking its inaugural Chief Executive Officer / Chief Investment Officer to lead the launch, growth, and management of this unique investment platform. This individual will be empowered to define the firm's strategy, build a high-performing team, and oversee all investment and operational decisions. This is a rare opportunity to lead a new climate finance venture from inception—combining institutional capital, structured finance, and high-impact sustainability outcomes.
