About the role

The Director, Deployment owns financial planning and analysis for TNC's active construction portfolio across up to 19 owned nuclear projects, including the Brookfield JV's anchor project at VCS Units 2 and 3. As developer, TNC contracts EPC firms to build each project; this role tracks capital deployment against the Long-Range Plan and monitors EPC firm performance against contract terms, flagging cost or schedule variances before they hit the P&L. The Director partners directly with Project Directors, the JV finance team, and the VP, FP&A to keep deployment-stage spend disciplined as TNC scales toward IPO. This is a build-it-as-we-grow role: reporting rigor has to scale with a portfolio that adds new projects every quarter.

• Cross-functional partnership. Work directly with Project Directors, the Brookfield JV finance team, Procurement, and Accounting to keep deployment data clean and current.

Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or Engineering, or equivalent experience.
