Director, Business Operations

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:

Join Crusoe's Business Operations team within the CFO/COO function, where you will own the operating rhythm that connects executive strategy to company-wide execution. You will lead cross-functional initiatives, drive M&A integration, manage OKR and business review processes, and ensure leadership has the visibility and frameworks needed to make high-quality decisions at speed.

This is a leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level. You'll set direction for how the company plans, tracks, and executes, while still rolling up your sleeves on the work that matters most. You will also build and lead a team to scale the function alongside Crusoe's growth.

Business Reviews & Board Materials: Own the cadence and content of MBRs, QBRs, and Board prep, giving leadership a clear, data-driven view of performance vs. plan

What You'll Bring to the Team:

10+ years of experience in business operations, program management, management consulting, investment banking, or a comparable role, with meaningful time at a high-growth technology company
