Business Operations Lead - Crux

We’re supercharging the clean economy

Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the U.S. Crux’s platform, market intelligence, and expert team help developers and manufacturers unlock financing through all stages of project development and operation.

Our team of 120+ 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.

The Role

We are hiring a BizOps Lead to design and deploy automation-first infrastructure in our Capital Solutions Business Execution team. This role is tailored for a problem-solver who blends a deep understanding of financial and diligence operations with a tool-savvy mindset, someone who’s excited to identify bottlenecks, automate manual processes, and craft robust internal systems that help Crux scale.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role embedded deeply within our commercial teams. You’ll be instrumental in eliminating friction across go-to-market workflows, leveraging tools like HubSpot, Claude Code, and n8n, and pushing the envelope on how we use automation and AI to streamline operations.

What you’ll do

• Design and deploy systems: Build automation-driven systems that support structured product workflows and eliminate friction across the Business Execution team and their diligence efforts.
• Eliminate manual work: Identify high-leverage repetitive tasks – deal evaluation, due diligence, internal handoffs, and compliance – and design scrappy, scalable automation to replace them.
• Own cross-functional service delivery infra: Build reliable service infrastructure across GTM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Omni, internal systems) that enable commercial, marketing, and PDE teams to operate with higher precision.
• Experiment and implement quickly: Move fast on scoped MVPs, leverage off-the-shelf tooling creatively, and iterate toward operational excellence.
• Use AI to accelerate process design: Champion use of AI-powered tools and workflows to accelerate internal processes and enhance customer-facing systems.
• Collaborate with technical & commercial teams: Partner closely with Commercial, Growth, Product, and Engineering to ensure systems are robust, business-aligned, and adopted.
• Instrument systems with data & insights: Stand up analytics and reporting systems to track performance, surface opportunities, and drive iterative improvement.

Who you are

• 6+ years of experience in business operations, strategic operations, management consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, finance, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment.
• Experience applying AI, automation, or modern technology tools to streamline workflows, improve operational efficiency, or enable better business decision-making.
• Experience partnering with investment, finance, or transaction teams, with an understanding of investment evaluation, due diligence, compliance, or complex transaction workflows.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives across business, finance, product, engineering, and operations.
• Demonstrated track record of solving ambiguous, high-impact business problems by identifying root causes, prioritizing opportunities, and designing scalable operational processes.
• Experience operating in a fast-paced, high-growth or startup environment.

Benefits & Perks

• Remote-first operating model: Work from anywhere in the US, or out of our optional offices in DC and NYC, plus optional co-working opportunities in major hubs.
• Healthcare: 100% of premiums covered for employees with a variety of plans on Aetna and Kaiser.
• Dental & Vision: 100% of premiums covered for employees.
