Crux

8d • $200,000 - $399,999 • Remote

About The Position

We are adding a Vice President to our Industry Coverage team, with a focus on M&A advisory and debt-related mandates. Industry coverage is responsible for building relationships with and advising developers, IPPs, utilities, manufacturers, and sponsors on capital structure & formation across debt, tax equity, tax credits and future financial products. This role will take on growing responsibility for M&A advisory and debt execution specifically — owning client relationships, structuring transactions, and helping to grow Crux's M&A advisory and debt capabilities as core franchises.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in power and utilities, renewables, clean energy finance, infrastructure M&A, debt capital markets, project finance, investment banking, or a closely related advisory role.
• Demonstrated track record contributing to M&A transactions (buy-side or sell-side) and/or debt financings, with strong command of deal structuring and execution.
• Deep expertise in at least one of M&A advisory or debt capital markets, with working knowledge of the other.
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical skills, including M&A valuation methodologies (DCF, precedent transactions, comps) and/or debt structuring analysis (cash flow modeling, credit metrics, covenant analysis).
• Proven experience preparing M&A and/or debt-related materials such as CIMs, teasers, lender presentations, information memoranda, and buyer/lender lists.
• Strong track record managing multiple complex workstreams independently and maintaining high standards in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, sound professional judgment, and a client-first mindset.
• Genuine excitement about clean energy, technology-enabled financial services, and the opportunity to help build new M&A advisory and debt franchises within Crux.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.
• FINRA SIE, Series 79, and 63, or willingness to obtain them under Crux's broker-dealer sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

• Opportunity to grow into a leadership role building out Crux's M&A advisory franchise and debt execution capability from the ground up, with increasing ownership over strategy and execution over time.
• Opportunity to work across advisory, capital, software, and intelligence in a more integrated model than traditional investment banking or project finance roles.
• Direct exposure to senior leadership, top-tier sponsors and strategics, and a wide range of M&A and debt transaction types across the clean energy ecosystem.
• Competitive compensation, flexible working culture, and a mission-driven environment focused on accelerating the energy transition.
• Use your expertise while getting to be on the cutting edge of applying AI to your day and your clients’ experience.

Responsibilities

• Own senior client relationships directly, driving strategic coverage plans and serving as a trusted advisor to developers, IPPs, utilities, manufacturers, and sponsors across the full capital stack — including M&A, debt, tax equity, and transferable tax credits.
• Help drive origination, structuring, and execution of M&A advisory mandates, including sell-side processes, valuation analysis, buyer/seller outreach, and deal negotiation.
• Support and increasingly help drive debt origination and advisory work across construction, term, back-leverage, tax equity bridge, and other structured debt products, partnering closely with Structuring and Capital Coverage on lender engagement and terms negotiation.
• Apply deep market intelligence and product knowledge to advise clients on M&A and debt opportunities across the clean energy capital stack.
• Build engagement with senior stakeholders at client organizations, while mentoring junior team members on relationship-building and deal execution.
• Own the development of M&A- and debt-specific client-facing materials, including CIMs, teasers, buyer/lender lists, process trackers, valuation analyses, and financial models.
• Help manage transaction execution workstreams for M&A and debt mandates, including diligence oversight, process management, and coordination with legal, financial, and technical advisors.
• Drive client onboarding and ongoing engagement strategy with Crux's software and Intelligence platforms.
• Champion customer feedback into Product, Operations, and software teams to shape Crux's platform roadmap.
• Contribute thought leadership on M&A and debt market trends to Market Intelligence content, and represent Crux at webinars, industry events, and conferences.
• Help grow an established book of business; drive strategy for nurturing and expanding buyers, investors, and lenders through the customer lifecycle.
• Serve as a senior strategic resource to clients throughout the M&A and debt transaction lifecycle.
• Educate and advise buyers, investors, and lenders on risk, proactively resolving transaction issues before they threaten deal timelines.
• Support new business development for M&A and debt mandates through conferences, networking, outreach, and other creative channels.
• Build and maintain credibility and senior relationships with key contacts at corporates, family offices, accounting and tax firms, investment banks, and lenders.
