How to apply for Senior Manager, Strategic Bank Capital

About Crux Climate

Crux is a capital platform for the clean economy. It modernizes capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence solutions. The company has raised $77 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and strategic energy partners like Pattern Energy and Orsted. Working here means joining a 120+ person team of energy, tax, finance, government, and technology experts at a time of growing US energy demand.

About the role

The Senior Manager, Strategic Bank Capital will likely focus on bank capital markets and tax credit transactions that fund clean energy projects. This role sits at the intersection of finance, tax, and energy infrastructure, helping Crux's clients and partners move capital efficiently. Because Crux is a platform for tax credit transactions, this position directly supports the company's core business of accelerating clean energy deployment.

A typical day

A typical day may involve calls with bank partners to discuss capital structures for clean energy tax credit transactions. You might work with internal teams across advisory, investments, and technology to underwrite or structure a deal. Because the role is remote, much of the coordination happens over video and email with colleagues and external partners across the US.

Who Crux Climate is looking for

• Experience in bank capital markets, structured finance, or tax equity, with knowledge of how banks underwrite and deploy capital for energy or infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with clean energy tax credits, transferability, or renewable project finance, given Crux's focus on tax credit transactions.
• Strong relationship management skills to work with bank partners, investors, and internal teams across advisory, investments, and technology.
• Ability to operate in a remote, fast-moving environment and collaborate with experts in energy, tax, finance, and government.

Tips for this application

• Read Crux's materials on tax credit transferability and clean energy capital markets, then reference specific deal types or structures in your application.
• Connect your bank capital experience to Crux's strategic investors like Pattern Energy, Clearway, and Orsted, showing you understand the bank-side perspective.
• Highlight any work with tax equity, transferable tax credits, or renewable project finance, since these are central to Crux's platform.
• Mention Crux's $77 million raise and its investor list to show you have done research beyond the job description.
• If you have remote work experience in finance, note how you manage bank relationships and transactions across time zones.

What to cover in your cover letter

Explain how your bank capital or structured finance background fits Crux's tax credit transaction model. Show you understand the clean energy capital gap and how banks participate. Describe a specific deal or relationship you managed that relates to energy or infrastructure finance. State why Crux's platform approach to capital raising and deployment appeals to you.

Research before applying

• Crux's products and services across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence, especially anything on tax credit transactions.
• The backgrounds of Crux's strategic investors like Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, and Orsted to understand their bank capital needs.
• Recent policy changes on clean energy tax credits and transferability that affect bank capital markets.
• Crux's leadership team and their experience in energy, tax, finance, and government.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How banks evaluate and price risk in clean energy tax credit transactions.
• Your experience with tax equity, transferability, or renewable project finance structures.
• How you would build and maintain relationships with bank capital providers for Crux's platform.
• A time you navigated a complex capital raise or transaction with multiple stakeholders.
• Why Crux's model of advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence is different from traditional project finance.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Submitting a generic finance resume without connecting your experience to clean energy tax credits or bank capital for infrastructure.
• Ignoring Crux's specific platform model and instead describing traditional project finance roles you have held.
• Failing to mention any of Crux's investors, partners, or recent capital raise, which shows a lack of research.
