Director, Marketing Strategy; Capital Solutions

What you'll do Own go-to-market strategy for capital solutions: Lead GTM strategy for the products, services, and features we bring to capital providers. Set the launch narrative, define the audience and segmentation, and make the strategic calls on sequencing and positioning in partnership with product, commercial, and marketing teams. Define positioning and messaging: Build differentiated positioning and value propositions for the capital provider audience, grounded in how institutional investors actually evaluate, decide, and deploy. Make sure Crux is described consistently and credibly across every team and touchpoint. Be an authority on capital providers: Hold a deep internal understanding of the investors and capital providers Crux serves: their mandates, workflows, constraints, and decision drivers. Bring that depth into positioning, messaging, roadmap, and commercial conversations. Turn market and customer insight into strategy: Synthesize customer feedback, competitive signals, and market dynamics into a clear point of view on where we play and how we win with capital providers. Partner with product, market intelligence, and commercial teams to pressure-test it and act on it. Equip commercial teams: Give commercial teams the narratives and enablement they need to win sophisticated capital conversations, including pitch decks, battlecards, and training. Raise the quality and consistency of how Crux shows up in front of investors. Lead across teams: Serve as the marketing strategy partner for the capital side of the business. Align product, commercial, and marketing stakeholders around shared narratives and priorities, and hold the room when those priorities compete. What you bring Required experience 8+ years in B2B marketing, marketing strategy, or an adjacent strategic function, with some experience in a startup or high-growth environment and meaningful direct exposure to institutional investors, including genuine fluency in how banks, funds, corporate finance teams, or other capital providers evaluate opportunities and deploy capital.
