Crux is a capital platform modernizing how clean energy and critical infrastructure projects raise and deploy capital. The company combines advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence to transform traditionally opaque project financing into a transparent, tech-enabled process. With $77M in funding from top-tier VCs and strategic investors across the energy sector, Crux is scaling rapidly with 120+ team members. As Legal Partnerships Lead, you'll own end-to-end relationships with leading AmLaw and Chambers-ranked law firms—among Crux's most strategic partners. Law firms are trusted advisors to developers, sponsors, and investors in clean energy, making these partnerships critical to Crux's capital markets growth. You'll serve as Crux's primary relationship owner for a portfolio of top-tier firms, leading meetings independently and navigating firm BD, marketing, and innovation teams. You'll design and execute co-marketing initiatives including joint content, co-hosted briefings, client dinners, and conference activations in close collaboration with Crux's marketing team. A key part of the role involves delivering differentiated legal and market intelligence to partners—CLE-eligible briefings, deal term standards, and tailored reports that position Crux as an indispensable resource. You'll deepen collaboration by helping firms engage with Crux's platform on transactions and participate in working groups on industry-standard documentation. You'll maintain sharp partner records and relationship health metrics alongside RevOps, refining playbooks to make successful approaches repeatable. The role includes ~25% travel for partner briefings, conferences, client events, and roadshows. You likely come from law firm BD, marketing, or innovation; legal-industry partnerships; project finance or tax law (moving to business side); or professional services BD. What matters most is genuine legal fluency—you can credibly hold conversations with AmLaw partners and in-house counsel and understand how transactional attorneys shape deals. You have deep professional services instincts: you know how law firms operate, their conflicts and confidentiality considerations, and what drives deep partnerships. You've built impactful relationships at enterprise or top-tier partners before, and people trust you in the room. This is a high-autonomy individual contributor role reporting to the Sr. Director of Partnerships.
