Pre-Employment Program ManagerNew$130K–$160K

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

  • Vendor Relationship Management: Own the end-to-end relationship with Crusoe's background check and drug/alcohol testing vendor(s) - service performance, escalations, contract renewals, and issue resolution.

  • Pre-Employment Screening Orchestration: Serve as the operational owner of every pre-employment check, coordinating with Recruiting Operations on package selection, Immigration Operations for work authorization checks, and Onboarding Operations when start dates shift, and resolving exceptions before they delay a start date.

  • Drug & Alcohol Testing Program Administration: Oversee the administration of our pre-employment and support the administration of the random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and return-to-duty testing programs, including maintaining appropriate testing pools for DOT and non-DOT populations.

  • Process Design & Documentation: Design and document the end-to-end pre-employment process, including a clear RACI that defines roles and responsibilities across Recruiting, People Operations, and Onboarding.

  • Compliance & Adjudication Partnership: Partner with Compliance, Legal, and Employee Relations on adjudication decisions, job profile designation (safety-sensitive, DOT, PHMSA), and FCRA-compliant recordkeeping.

  • Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the connective tissue between Recruiting and Onboarding, ensuring handoffs are seamless and no candidate falls through the cracks.

What they're looking for

  • Training & Enablement: Build training, documentation, and communications for Recruiting, People Operations, Onboarding, and hiring managers on pre-employment requirements and processes.
  • Continuous Improvement: Monitor turnaround times, error rates, and candidate experience data; identify opportunities to improve efficiency, compliance, and consistency as volume grows.
  • Pre-Employment Program Expertise: Experience administering background check and/or drug and alcohol testing programs, ideally within a high-growth or regulated environment.
  • Vendor Management: Proven ability to manage external vendor relationships, holding partners accountable to SLAs and resolving service issues.
