Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will build and manage financing models to support massive AI infrastructure builds, including raising multi-billion dollar capital across various instruments. Additionally, you will lead debt facility negotiations, manage banking relationships, and oversee M&A evaluation strategies.
Candidates must have 6–10+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or strategic finance at capital-intensive companies. A proven track record of closing complex debt facilities and equity offerings exceeding $1 billion is required.
Crux AI is a newly formed, U.S.-based integrated AI infrastructure company created to remove the physical and operational constraints on consequential AI ambitions. Crux brings together power, high-density data centers, TPU silicon, networking, orchestration software, and ongoing operations as one integrated system.
Crux is being capitalized to plan every layer together, develop each one to demanding standards, and operate the whole system with efficiency and reliability. That gives hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, sovereign customers, enterprises, and AI-native companies greater freedom to pursue the AI they are here to create.
You will build the financing model to support massive AI infrastructure builds - developing innovative strategies to access cost-effective capital and continuously optimizing the balance sheet to maximize value.
Reporting to the CFO, raise multi-billion dollar financings across multiple instrument types, manage banking and debt investor relationships, drive the financial execution of public equity market transactions, and evaluate opportunistic M&A.
Contribute broadly and have significant responsibility for all capital raising processes. You’ll partner across Finance, Legal, our sponsors, and the executive team to drive our capital markets strategy.

Adapted to a fast paced environment.
Lead the structuring, negotiation, and closing of diverse debt facilities: which may include construction financing, asset-backed securitizations (ABS), equipment leasing facilities, GPU-collateralized loans, supply chain financing, and revolving credit facilities.

Optimized debt covenants, collaborating with legal and accounting teams.
Managed post-close debt operations: covenant tracking, interest rate hedging strategies, and rating agency interactions.

Prior in-house experience in a Capital Markets, Corporate Development, or Strategic Finance role at a high-growth, capital-intensive company.
Direct track record of closing complex debt facilities (structured credit, asset-based lending, or high-yield) and equity offerings ($1B+ transaction sizes).
You are willing to negotiate aggressively to get to the right outcome. Comfortable diving deep on term sheets and legal documents with the attorneys, while maintaining the ability to innovate in the face of broad capital raising needs.
You have a high tolerance for ambiguity. You absorb ambiguity and navigate complexity rather than passing it along.
