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

  • Leasing Transactions: Own the full lifecycle of leasing transactions — from initial Letters of Intent (LOIs) through negotiation, execution, and post-closing administration — across ground leases, build-to-suit leases, colocation agreements, and data center occupancy agreements.

  • Customer & Tenant Agreements: Draft, negotiate, and execute customer leases, tenant agreements, and specialized data center service agreements tailored to Crusoe's operational and commercial requirements.

  • Real Estate Transactions: Support the review, negotiation, and execution of real estate agreements including site selection, Purchase and Sale Agreements (PSAs), options, and easements in support of Crusoe's expanding footprint.

  • Lease Due Diligence: Conduct and coordinate legal due diligence on leasehold interests, title matters, and landlord/tenant obligations across Crusoe's portfolio of data center sites.

  • Structured Leasing: Advise on and support complex lease structures including synthetic leases, sale-leaseback transactions, and ground lease financings in coordination with the finance and tax teams.

  • Portfolio Management: Develop and maintain a suite of standardized lease templates, forms, and playbooks to streamline negotiations and ensure consistency across Crusoe's growing real estate portfolio.

What they're looking for

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Power Engineering, Construction, Finance, and Tax to align leasing strategy with site development timelines, power procurement needs, and financial objectives.
  • Stakeholder Advisory: Present complex leasing and real estate concepts clearly and effectively to non-legal stakeholders during meetings and in written reports.
  • Education: Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
  • Licensure: Active bar admission in any state.
