at Crux Climate

🏢 About Crux Climate

Crux Climate is at the forefront of sustainable finance, streamlining tax credit transactions to accelerate clean energy projects. As a remote-first team, they combine mission-driven work with high-growth energy, making them a unique place for those passionate about climate impact and operational excellence.

About This Role

As Events Lead, you'll own the logistics for 50+ events annually, from industry conferences to branded experiences, directly shaping Crux's presence in the clean energy and finance sectors. Your work will drive brand visibility and stakeholder engagement, critical for a company building momentum in a nascent market.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing a checklist for an upcoming conference, then hop on a call with a vendor to finalize booth graphics. Afternoon involves coordinating shipping for swag to a partner event, and you end the day updating the events playbook with lessons learned from last week's dinner. Throughout, you'll collaborate remotely with marketing and sales teams to ensure alignment.
