Crux is the capital platform for the clean economy. We modernize capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with solutions across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence.
Our team of 95+ 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 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 Associate, Investment Management will be a core member of Crux's Investments team, reporting to the Senior Principal. This is a hands-on execution role for a financially rigorous analyst with foundational knowledge of tax equity investments and a strong desire to grow within structured renewable energy finance. The Associate will support the building and maintenance of tax equity models, assist in preparing investment analyses for internal and external stakeholders, and contribute to transaction execution across the deal lifecycle.
This position is ideal for candidates with at least 2 years of relevant experience in structured finance, renewable energy, or infrastructure investing who are looking to deepen their expertise in tax equity structures in a fast-moving, technology-forward environment.
Support the building, maintenance, and auditing of financial models for tax equity transactions, with exposure to partnership flip and T-flip structures.
Assist in the preparation of investment materials for Investment Committee, including transaction economics, sensitivities, and risk analyses.
Work closely with Senior Managers, Principals, and the Senior Principal on transaction structuring, execution, and deal coordination.
Analyze sponsor financials, project contracts, and diligence materials to help identify risks and value drivers.
Leverage technology and AI-enabled tools to increase accuracy and efficiency in modeling, diligence, and reporting.
Contribute to process improvements and template standardization across the Investments team.
Support limited external interactions with developers, investors, and advisors under guidance from senior team members.
Assist with portfolio management and reporting as needed, including monitoring project performance against underwriting.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field; MBA or MS a plus.
Minimum 2 years of experience in renewable energy, structured finance, infrastructure investing, or a closely related field; some exposure to tax equity concepts preferred but not required.
Strong Excel skills, including comfort building and navigating complex financial models; VBA or Python skills a plus.
Basic familiarity with tax equity structures (partnership flip, T-flip) or eagerness to develop that knowledge quickly.
Exposure to IRS requirements, safe harbor tests, or recapture provisions a plus but not required.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
Comfortable adopting new technology platforms and integrating AI tools into daily workflows.
FINRA SIE, Series 79, and 63, or willingness to obtain them under Crux’s broker-dealer sponsorship.
