Director, Marketing Strategy; Capital Solutions

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 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. 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 is hiring a Director of Marketing Strategy to lead how we bring our capital solutions to market and how we position Crux to the investors and capital providers who power clean energy finance. This is a senior, strategic role and a key partner to our product, commercial, and marketing teams. You will own positioning, go-to-market strategy, and market insight for the capital provider audience: the banks, funds, corporates, lenders, and other institutions that deploy capital to developers and projects. Your job is to translate how these sophisticated investors think into clear narratives that drive adoption of Crux's offerings and measurable commercial results. This is the senior marketing strategist for the capital side of our business. You will set direction, make the calls on how we segment and message to capital providers, and operate as an internal authority on this audience. You will work shoulder to shoulder with commercial and capital markets leaders, and you will bring the executive presence to align senior stakeholders around a shared strategy. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own go-to-market strategy for capital solutions: Lead GTM strategy for the products, services, and features we bring to capital providers. Set the launch narrative, define the audience and segmentation, and make the strategic calls on sequencing and positioning in partnership with product, commercial, and marketing teams. - Define positioning and messaging: Build differentiated positioning and value propositions for the capital provider audience, grounded in how institutional investors actually evaluate, decide, and deploy. Make sure Crux is described consistently and credibly across every team and touchpoint. - Be an authority on capital providers: Hold a deep internal understanding of the investors and capital providers Crux serves: their mandates, workflows, constraints, and decision drivers. Bring that depth into positioning, messaging, roadmap, and commercial conversations. - Turn market and customer insight into strategy: Synthesize customer feedback, competitive signals, and market dynamics into a clear point of view on where we play and how we win with capital providers. Partner with product, market intelligence, and commercial teams to pressure-test it and act on it. - Equip commercial teams: Give commercial teams the narratives and enablement they need to win sophisticated capital conversations, including pitch decks, battlecards, and training.
