Operations
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.
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.
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.
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
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
