We’re supercharging the clean economy

Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the U.S. Crux’s platform, market intelligence, and expert team help developers and manufacturers unlock financing through all stages of project development and operation.

Our team of 45+ is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures.

An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing

Energy demand is growing for the first time in 20 years, driven by surging manufacturing, transportation, electrification, and data centers. At the same time, hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested into domestic supply chains for critical minerals and components. Meeting this moment will require trillions in capital.

Today’s capital markets are not built for this scale. They are fragmented, opaque, and highly manual.

Crux is building the missing infrastructure: a central capital markets platform designed for the next century of American energy and industry. By connecting counterparties, providing market intelligence, and streamlining execution, we enable faster decisions, lower cost of capital, and more efficient deployment.

The Role

We’re hiring a Strategic Transactions Manager, Software GTM to help execute and scale transactions on Crux’s System of Action (SoA) platform.

SoA is our platform for running complex, multi-party transactions — supporting diligence, coordination, and execution across 5–15+ stakeholders.

In this role, you take a deal from committed partner → live transaction → successful execution.

The GTM team owns discovery and new relationships. You step in once a deal is real — owning execution, coordination, and platform adoption across all parties involved.

This role sits at the intersection of GTM, product, and transaction execution. You will work closely with customers and internal teams to ensure deals move efficiently while helping shape how our platform supports real-world workflows.

This is not a traditional customer success or sales role. It is a hands-on execution role where your impact is directly tied to whether transactions succeed.

What you’ll do
  • Own execution of live transactions on Crux’s platform — from onboarding through completion

  • Coordinate multiple stakeholders (e.g., lenders, developers, legal teams) to keep deals on track and progressing

  • Drive adoption of the platform across internal teams and external counterparties

  • Partner with GTM, Product, and Operations to ensure seamless execution and clear ownership

  • Participate in customer conversations where deal context matters, helping translate workflows into the platform

  • Identify friction in transaction workflows and provide clear, actionable feedback to Product

  • Help refine internal playbooks for onboarding, execution, and platform adoption as the function scales

Who you are
  • 5+ years of experience in project finance, structured finance, infrastructure, fintech, or a related field

  • Strong understanding of how transactions are executed in the renewable energy industry, including diligence, coordination, and timelines

  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities simultaneously

  • Clear and professional communicator across financial, legal, and operational audiences

  • Ownership-driven and proactive — you anticipate issues and move quickly to resolve them

  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment without fully defined processes

  • Tech-forward with an interest in how software and AI can improve workflows and execution

  • Motivated by solving complex problems and contributing to a mission-driven organization

What we bring
  • Backing, traction & brand:

    • We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best venture and strategic investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Ardent Venture Partners, Pattern, Clearway, EDFR, Intersect, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures.

    • Have been profitable and are growing exponentially

    • We have closed over 120+ transactions in just the last 2 years, facilitating billions of dollars of capital flowing into renewables projects

  • Culture & working dynamic

    • Remote-first operating model: Work from anywhere in the US and Canada, or work out of our optional offices in DC (open), NYC (opening Q1’26). Optional co-working opportunities with co-workers in Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, Boston, LA, and beyond.

    • High growth & high ownership culture: We grow quickly by giving extremely talented people a lot of responsibility.

    • Best of financial services & technology: We have brought together a team that are experts in clean energy finance, and the best technologies. Use your expertise while getting to be on the cutting edge of applying AI to your day and your clients’ experience.

    • Regular team offsites: We sustain culture by bringing the entire company together 3 times a year. Individual teams may also meet up more frequently.

  • Benefits

    • Healthcare: We cover 100% of premiums for employees with a variety of plans on Aetna (nationwide) and Kaiser (WA and California) and subsidize 70% for dependents (total as a group), if relevant.

    • Dental & vision: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and 50% for dependents (each), if relevant.

    • Holidays: 10 company holidays per year.

    • Paid time off: 20 days per year.

    • 401k: We support a 401k account but don't have a matching program set up at this time (typical for an early-stage startup).

    • Parental leave: 16 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents.

  • Compensation:

    • Base Compensation: $150,000 - $180,000 depending on leveling/years of experience, not reflecting value of equity.

    • Company wide bonus tied to revenue goals.

    • Stock options in a rapidly growing company.
      Values

      • Care for each other: We want to work on a team where people support each other - in their growth, in their work, and towards our shared mission. When we do that, we have fun.

      • Build and improve rapidly: We move quickly. To do that, we focus, consistently ask ourselves if we are prioritizing the right things, and execute them as best as possible.

      • Focus unremittingly on customers: Our first obligation is to our customers and partners, and we keep their needs front and center in everything we do.

      • Demonstrate ownership: We are all owners of Crux. This is our team, our company, our product and we show that to each other.

      • Convene a team that reflects the breadth of experiences in the country: We’re building a team with a wide range of backgrounds and a culture where everyone can thrive.

We provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by law.
