- The ideal candidate excels in navigating complex and ambiguous situations, drives organizational alignment at the executive level, and brings a strategic, enterprise-wide mindset to problem-solving
- A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting or other business major is required, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Minimum of 12-15 years of progressive leadership experience in capital markets, investment banking, private equity, structured finance, or corporate treasury, including managing high-performing teams
- Advanced analytical skills with an ability to perform quantitative and qualitative analysis on new ideas and concepts
- Excellent financial modeling and valuation skills, with a demonstrated track record of executing complicated financial analyses

- Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills
- Exceptional attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple competing priorities simultaneously
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
- Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk
- You love partnering to design and execute innovative financing solutions that fuel growth, scale infrastructure, and support next-generation compute deployments
- You’re curious about capital markets dynamics, emerging financing structures, and new ways to optimize cost of capital across equity, debt, leasing, and hybrid solutions
- You’re an expert at building sophisticated financial models, structuring and evaluating transactions, and communicating insights clearly to senior leaders—helping to shape capital strategy and align stakeholders
- This position requires access to export controlled information. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations applicable to that information, applicant must either be (A) a U.S. person, defined as a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, (B) eligible to access the export controlled information without a required export authorization, or (C) eligible and reasonably likely to obtain the required export authorization from the applicable U.S. government agency. CoreWeave may, for legitimate business reasons, decline to pursue any export licensing process
What the job involves
- Given the rapid growth of CoreWeave, and the capital intensive nature of the infrastructure that we provide, we are building out a Strategic Financing team

- Oversee development of financing models and frameworks, setting strategic direction and ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide objectives
- Assist in due diligence processes, negotiations, and execution of major financing transactions

Our take
Many cloud service providers can suffer from slow prediction speeds when they are used for data modeling. CoreWeave solves this problem with its specialized cloud service provider.
CoreWeave reduces prediction times and makes service requests faster and more efficient. This, in turn, cuts cloud costs considerably. This has proven to be a strong draw for many companies, with CoreWeave signing a lucrative partnership with GPU heavyweight NVIDIA as well as partnering with BitOoda, which has allowed it to expand its operations to the financial market.
However, in 2023 it closed three very significant rounds of funding (Series B and debt and secondary extensions), which is being invested into expanding its US-based data centers, opening two new ones in the coming year. The question remains whether, despite 2023's big investments in the sector, CoreWeave can maintain this momentum and whether generative AI's stock will continue to rise.
