An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing

Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital.

Traditional project financing is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future.

We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI-and tech-forward mindset.

The Opportunity

Crux's Investments team manages the full lifecycle of the firm's tax equity and preferred equity activity, including hybrids thereof — origination, execution, and long-term portfolio stewardship. The Principal, Investments leads transaction execution day-to-day, works closely with senior colleagues on the most complex structures, and grows into leading negotiations and IC discussions independently. The seat is execution-led, with involvement in post-close portfolio stewardship.

What you'll do

• Lead execution of tax equity and preferred equity investments, including hybrids thereof, from term sheet through close, with senior support on the most complex points.

• Identify, help structure around, price, and document transaction risk.

• Build and review partnership and hybrid models, and develop a strong point of view on assumptions, sensitivities, and risk cases.

• Prepare opportunities for the Investment Committee (IC), for both screening and final investment decisioning, and present with support.
