Senior Manager role focused on strategic bank capital in a clean energy capital platform company.
Обязанности
- We're hiring a Senior Manager, Strategic Bank Capital — a commercial team member who will help build and manage Crux's relationships with bank capital providers, supporting coverage, pipeline development, and capital formation across debt, preferred equity, tax equity, and structured products. This person will work closely with the Head of Strategic Bank Capital to expand bank participation across the platform, growing into day-to-day ownership of a set of bank relationships over time.
- Strategic Bank Capital is Crux's coverage function for bank capital providers, including investor desks, treasury and principal investing groups, bank-sponsored funds and platforms, and warehouse and forward-flow counterparties. The team owns Crux's bank partnerships end to end, shaping demand early in the transaction lifecycle and working hand in hand with product teams across Capital Solutions. This role will help keep each bank relationship organized, responsive, and moving forward — from first engagement through execution and repeat deployment.
Требования

- 5+ years of experience in capital markets, bank coverage, capital formation, project finance, structured finance, or related disciplines, ideally within renewable energy or infrastructure.
- Experience at a commercial or investment bank (tax equity, project finance, structured finance, or debt capital markets), an advisory or placement firm, or an institutional investor covering banks.
- Experience supporting capital raising or managing relationships with bank counterparties or institutional investors.
- Exposure to one or more of the following: tax equity, transferable tax credits, preferred equity, construction or term debt, warehouse or forward-flow facilities, or structured products.
- Working fluency in risk, structure, and return drivers, with the ability to engage credibly with bank partners without owning transaction execution.
- Highly organized, with a disciplined approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM hygiene.
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication, with comfort engaging directly with bank counterparties.
- Comfort working independently in a fast-moving, high-growth environment while collaborating closely with deal, product, and leadership teams.
- Existing relationships with bank investor desks, treasury, or principal investing groups a plus.
- Interest in leveraging technology, AI, and data to modernize bank capital formation.
