The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • AI Infrastructure Enablement: Work directly with internal technical teams and external partners to site, design, and deliver power and land to energy-intensive AI compute deployments, including high-density GPU data centers.

  • Strategic Project Development: Define and deploy strategic frameworks for new project development, primarily within the US.

  • Deal Execution & Leadership: Develop and execute fast-paced, highly complex energy and real estate deals from start to finish. Act as the central point ("quarterback") to drive these deals to completion.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with company goals and market needs.

  • Market & Regulatory Analysis: Analyze regulatory and policy developments impacting the energy and AI industries, and recommend proactive adjustments to business strategies based on market intelligence.

  • Power Sourcing & Market Research: Develop and implement comprehensive power sourcing strategies to reduce overall LCOE focused on thermal resources. Evaluate energy market dynamics, nodal pricing, and dispatch economics to optimize procurement timing and structure. Conduct market research to identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

What they're looking for

  • Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with thermal asset project owners, brokers, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), and AI workload end users.
  • Contract Negotiation & Structuring: Lead negotiation and structuring of power purchase agreements and real estate agreements needed to build HPC data centers, including complex commercial frameworks such as physical and financial hedges, tolling agreements, and behind-the-meter configurations for thermal resources. Experience structuring agreements that incorporate or accommodate CCS infrastructure is a plus.
  • Interconnection & Tax Abatement: Lead interconnection submittals and approvals for data center load, and lead property tax abatement negotiations.
  • Compliance & Financial Alignment: Work closely with legal and financial teams to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and financial objectives.
