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 team delivers capital solutions across tax equity, preferred equity, debt, and advisory services to sponsors, developers, and investors. This role sits on the tax/preferred equity side of the team and is a hands-on role for a financially rigorous analyst with foundational knowledge of these structures and a strong desire to grow within structured renewable energy finance, covering project-level and portfolio-level transactions in renewable energy and energy transition infrastructure. The Associate will support the screening, underwriting, structuring, and execution of transactions from intake to closing.

The role requires strong financial modeling skills, exposure to renewables and energy transition markets, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment.
