Tax Partnerships Lead

The posting, as Crux wrote it

We’re financing the future of energy

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 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 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

We’re hiring a Tax Partnerships Lead to accelerate our channel program and strategic partnerships with accounting and tax advisory firms.

Partnerships is one of Crux’s most important growth engines, particularly for the capital side of our business. Today, our channel partners deliver value to Crux by bringing buyers and investors onto the platform, strengthening our industry-leading market intelligence, and reinforcing Crux’s position at the center of the clean economy. Accounting firms and tax advisors are one of our most impactful personas, and we’re excited about what’s in front of it: bringing a more rigorous, programmatic approach to the partner lifecycle — with nuanced approaches across segments — and continuing to open new mid-market relationships and co-sell models as we scale.

You will own these relationships end-to-end — refining enablement strategies, cultivating champions inside partner firms, tightening qualification, and working hand-in-hand with our commercial and marketing teams to drive conversion. You’ll often be the only Crux person in the room with a tax partner or a firm’s BD team, and we’re looking for someone who can hold that conversation credibly from day one. Over time, your portfolio may evolve to include additional personas. This is a high-autonomy individual contributor role reporting to the Partnerships Principal.
