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
Project Cost Analytics & Benchmarking: Develop a consistent cost taxonomy and analytical framework across data center builds, including $/MW, $/kW, cost by construction package, site, geography, design, capacity, and project phase. Establish internal and external benchmarks and identify the drivers of cost variation.
Project Forecasting & EAC: Own the financial framework for project Estimate at Completion (EAC), partnering with Construction, Development, Procurement, and project controls to understand committed, incurred, forecasted, and at-risk spend. Establish a disciplined process for identifying cost pressure and forecast changes early.
Cost Variance & Root-Cause Analytics: Analyze performance against original underwriting, approved budget, baseline estimate, prior forecast, and benchmark. Distinguish changes driven by scope, quantity, rate, schedule, design, procurement, productivity, contingency utilization, and other factors.
Build Economics: Develop the financial view of construction economics and capital efficiency, connecting project cost, schedule, MW delivery, and design decisions. Help leadership understand tradeoffs between cost, speed, resiliency, capacity, and risk.
Estimating & Cost Intelligence: Partner with estimating, construction, engineering, procurement, and development teams to improve the quality of early-stage project estimates. Build feedback loops so actual project performance continuously improves future estimates and underwriting assumptions.
Portfolio Cost Performance: Create portfolio-level visibility across active data center projects, highlighting cost trends, forecast changes, contingency consumption, emerging risks, and opportunities. Establish standardized reporting that allows leadership to compare projects consistently.
What they're looking for
- Capital Planning & Cash Forecasting: Translate project EACs and construction schedules into reliable capital and cash-spend forecasts, ensuring project-level forecasts roll into DIG’s overall capital plan, forecast, budget, and long-range plan.
- Decision Support: Provide financial analysis for major design changes, change orders, procurement decisions, contracting strategies, schedule acceleration, and other decisions that materially affect project economics.
- Data & Analytics Infrastructure: Define the source-of-truth data, ownership, controls, and reporting architecture required for project cost analytics. Partner across Finance, project controls, procurement, construction, and systems teams to improve data quality and automate reporting wherever possible.
- + years of experience spanning construction finance, project controls,: capital projects accounting, or project finance, ideally within data centers, energy, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure; direct exposure to data center or facilities operations finance strongly preferred.
