Executive Assistant

We’re financing the future of energy Crux is the capital platform for the clean economy. We modernize capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with solutions across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence. 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. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures. An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital. Traditional project financing is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future. We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI- and tech-forward mindset. About the Role This is a true right-hand EA role. Not pure scheduling support. Not pure project management. We are hiring a force multiplier who can take ownership of how a senior executive’s time, communications, and operating cadence run day to day. You will act as a gatekeeper, an editor, and a quiet operator behind one of the busiest desks at Crux. The role is dedicated to 2-3 senior executives, with light support to their broader team — offsites, internal events, and select client-facing events on a national basis. What You’ll Own Calendar management and gatekeeping Prioritize aggressively against business objectives. Title meetings clearly, build attendee lists, and ensure prep context lands in advance. Defend focus time when it matters. Inbox triage and response management Filter and prioritize non-securities email. Draft replies on the executive's behalf and build toward trusted delegation over time. Anything touching regulatory compliance routes only through the executive — training to recognize those moments is part of the job. Executive operations Pull together meeting materials and agendas with the right context. Sit in on select meetings to capture follow-ups and track action items to completion. Coordinate interview loops and keep candidate feedback current. Workflow systems Maintain hygiene across HubSpot, Rippling, and Ramp (expense approval). Track candidate feedback. Keep light CRM data clean and current. Travel and personal logistics Maintain a single, integrated view across business and personal travel and health appointments. The executive books their own personal travel; you will keep visibility on when they are in or out and align it with the business calendar. Events and offsites Coordinate closing dinners, team offsites, conferences, and client and investor events. Some travel required (roughly once a month, TBD), primarily for team offsites and events. Light deck and formatting support Deck edits and formatting polish — not heavy content creation. How We Operate Our leaders days are fast, externally facing, and shaped by deal activity in real time. Priorities shift, decisions get made with incomplete information, and the inbox and calendar are the two biggest pressure points. We are looking for someone who can: Operate proactively, not reactively Make decisions within defined boundaries and escape when needed Move at the pace of the desk — expect long hours and real-time responsiveness across a mix of Slack, text, and email Hold the line on prioritization, and push back constructively when it serves the work What You Bring Must-haves Strong judgment and prioritization High discretion and confidentiality Ability to manage up and push back when needed Detail-oriented with strong follow-through Systems-oriented — you impose structure where there isn't any Ai fluency or appetite to get there Nice-to-have Experience supporting senior executives in finance, banking, or another regulated environment Familiarity with HubSpot or comparable CRM tools No prior fluency in financial concepts or investor workflows is required.
