Full Job Description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI. We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services. If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe. About the Role: Strategic initiatives at Crusoe are large, cross-functional programs that span manufacturing, supply chain, systems, construction, and finance. They do not fit neatly inside any single function and are nested in the office of the Chief Strategy Officer. This role exists to make those programs run smoothly. You will embed directly in active initiatives, owning the analytical and operational infrastructure that keeps complex work on track. That means building the models, running the numbers, maintaining the schedule, and making sure decision-makers have what they need when they need it. You will work across functions and levels — from operators on the factory floor to engineers and board-level sponsors — and you will have the opportunity to operate with the judgment and initiative of someone several
