- **Company:** Hut 8
- **Location:** Miami, FL
- **Posted:** 2026-06-25

## Job description

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Strategic Finance, Principal you will play a central role in executing the financing and capital markets activities that fund the company's infrastructure growth and long-term financial strategy. Working alongside senior members of the Strategic Finance team, you will structure and evaluate capital solutions, build the analysis behind key decisions, and support transactions from concept through close — an ideal foundation for an ambitious finance professional in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

You will gain hands-on exposure to high-impact financing transactions, liquidity and capital planning, and the strategic decisions that shape the company's capital structure. You will work closely with senior leadership and regularly engage with banks, investors, and capital partners, contributing directly to outcomes as part of a small, fast-moving team.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

- Strategic Financing Initiatives: Help identify, structure, and evaluate financing solutions to fund infrastructure investments, client contracts, and continued growth.
- Financial Modeling & Analysis: Lead financial modeling efforts to assist senior finance team in analyzing opportunities and strategic decision making across equity, debt, lease, and hybrid capital solutions, including debt capacity, leverage, liquidity, covenant sensitivity, and downside scenarios.
- Capital Markets Support: Conduct market research across capital-markets trends, investor appetite, peer benchmarking, and emerging financing structures, and support the execution of capital raising and financing transactions, including evaluation of key financing terms, drafting presentations, and assisting with management of key lender and financial sponsor relationships.
- Special Projects: Contribute to high-visibility, cross-functional special projects that move the business forward.
- Strategic Recommendations: Contribute to the preparation of recommendations for firmwide investment committee on financing strategies, M&A opportunities, and new investment opportunities.
- Transaction Execution & Coordination: Support deal workstreams from launch through close — including data room management, diligence responses, and documentation coordination — and partner with legal, accounting, energy origination, tax, and corporate development teams to keep assumptions and deliverables aligned, maintaining a financing pipeline view across projects, counterparties, and key milestones.
- Materials & Documentation: Prepare lender presentations, internal decision materials, and committee decks, maintain closing documentation trackers, and support post-close handoff into covenant compliance and bank reporting.

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Timely and accurate delivery of decision-grade financial models and analysis with minimal managerial oversight.
- Effectively supporting the organization in an organized, well-controlled and timely execution of capital raising and corporate structuring projects.
- Establishing a proactive role in market research and staying informed on industry trends and pricing.

Contributing to internal and external presentations with comprehensive and clear analysis

## ABOUT YOU

- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field.
- 2-4 years of experience in investment banking, project finance, private equity, corporate finance, or a similar analytical role.
- Strong financial modeling and valuation skills, and a deep understanding of project and corporate finance principles.
- Highly organized with a keen attention to detail and strong problem-solving capabilities.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a desire to grow into a leadership role over time.
- Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, prioritize effectively, and thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
- Experience with capital markets or investment banking transactions.
- Exposure to financing instruments such as credit facilities, term loans, or securitizations.
- Comfortable working directly with banks, investors, and outside counsel and consultants in support of live transactions.
- Familiarity with treasury management, corporate structuring, or M&A transactions.
- Passionate about finance, capital markets, and strategic investments.
- Strong judgment, sense of urgency, and follow-through.

## ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

## About Hut 8

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform that integrates power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies including Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC/AI).
- **Entity Type**: Public (NASDAQ: HUT; TSX: HUT)
- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed as individual founders; the company emerged from the Hut 8 Mining Corp. lineage.

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Energy Infrastructure, Digital Infrastructure, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) Compute, Bitcoin Mining.
- **Target customers**: B2B; primarily enterprise and institutional clients needing purpose-built data centers, colocation, and compute capacity for AI and HPC workloads. Also includes institutional energy partners and Bitcoin mining operators.
- **Mission/Purpose**: To build a platform that evolves alongside energy-intensive technologies for decades to come—from world-shaping innovations today to the breakthroughs yet to be achieved. They take a "power-first, innovation-driven" approach.

## Products & Services
- **Energy Infrastructure (Power)**: Acquisition, development, and management of critical energy assets—powered land, interconnects, substations, switchyards, and generation assets. This is the foundational layer of their platform.
- **Digital Infrastructure (Data Centers)**: Design, build, monetize, and operate purpose-built facilities for energy-intensive applications (AI, HPC, Bitcoin mining). Key assets include the Beacon Point (1 GW AI campus) and River Bend (330 MW) sites.
- **Compute (HPC & AI)**: Operating businesses that acquire, deploy, and monetize specialized hardware for next-generation workloads. This includes their **Highrise.ai** subsidiary, which commercializes AI infrastructure and cloud capacity.
- **Bitcoin Mining & Managed Services**: Legacy and ongoing ASIC compute operations across sites in Alberta, New York, and Texas.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed in provided sources. As a public company (NASDAQ: HUT), market cap fluctuates with stock price.
- **Key Metric**: **1,020 megawatts** of energy capacity under management across 15 sites in the US and Canada (as of mid-2026). They recently commercialized the first phase of their 1 GW Beacon Point AI data center campus with a **15-year, 352 MW IT lease** carrying a base-term contract value of **$9.8 billion**.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Macquarie (joint venture partner), a Fortune 200 renewable energy producer (JV partner), and institutional debt investors (closed $4.25 billion in investment-grade senior secured notes for Beacon Point).
- **Growth Signals**: Massive headcount growth (+55.7% year-over-year to 175 employees). Active job postings have grown +116.7% year-over-year (52 open roles). They are aggressively building out their AI/HPC commercial arm (Highrise.ai) and expanding their energy origination team.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Power-First Approach**: Unlike pure data center developers, Hut 8 originates and owns the power assets (land, interconnects, substations) first, giving them a structural advantage in speed and cost to market.
- **Multi-Use Case Flexibility**: They can deploy Bitcoin mining as a "transitional load" to generate cash flow while building out higher-return AI/HPC data centers on the same site. This allows rapid, cost-effective commercialization.
- **Scale & Financial Backing**: A 1 GW campus (Beacon Point) with a $9.8B contracted lease and $4.25B in investment-grade debt financing is a rare, institutional-grade asset in the AI infrastructure space.
- **Integrated Platform**: They own the full stack—power, physical data centers, and compute operations—enabling them to optimize assets for the highest risk-adjusted return over time.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling AI Infrastructure**: The primary current focus is commercializing the Beacon Point campus and building out River Bend for AI compute. The Highrise.ai subsidiary is central to this push.
- **Energy Origination**: Aggressively acquiring and developing new power assets (interconnects, substations) across North America.
- **Platform Optimization**: Actively managing the portfolio to transition assets from Bitcoin mining to higher-return HPC/AI use cases over time.
- **Capital Discipline**: Using creative financing (investment-grade notes, JVs) to fund massive capital expenditures while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Impact Work**: Employees work at the intersection of energy and AI—two of the most transformative industries. The company is building infrastructure that powers the next generation of technology.
- **Culture & Values**: Certified as a **Great Place to Work®** and included in Newsweek's America's Greatest Companies. Culture is described as "ownership mindset," "merit-based decision-making," "no room for ego," and "the best idea wins." CEO Asher Genoot emphasizes "substance over flash."
- **Growth Trajectory**: The company is in a hyper-growth phase (55% headcount growth YoY, 117% increase in job postings). This offers rapid career advancement and the chance to shape a scaling organization.
- **Work Environment**: Headquarters in **Miami, FL**, with roles available in San Francisco, Baton Rouge, Nueces County (TX), and remote options for some positions (e.g., Director, Energy Origination is remote).
- **Notable Perks**: Working with a team of "sector veterans and proven builder-operators." Emphasis on intellectual rigor, ownership, and solving hard problems at scale.
