Job description

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 Finance team, reporting to the SVP of Finance, and own the central nervous system of financial planning, consolidation, and reporting for one of the fastest-scaling infrastructure companies in the world. Crusoe operates across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services — each with its own drivers, capital intensity, and growth trajectory. This role works closely with the individual business-line finance teams, pulling their inputs into a single, coherent picture of how Crusoe is performing and where it's headed.

You will own the company's consolidated forecast, budget, and long-range plan; run the monthly and quarterly close-to-report cadence; and build the systems and processes that let a rapidly scaling, capital-intensive business plan with precision. This is a role for someone who is energized by ambiguity, comfortable being the source of truth in the room, and ready to build the frameworks that don't yet exist.

This role will build and lead a small team of analysts and managers over time, but will begin as a hands-on contributor who is directly in the model, in the deck, and in the room.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Corporate Consolidation: Own the consolidated financial model across all business lines, integrating business-unit forecasts into a single, defensible enterprise view

• Planning & Forecasting: Lead the annual budget, monthly forecast, and long-range planning processes end-to-end, setting the calendar, templates, and standards that business-line finance teams plan against

• Executive & Board Reporting: Build the monthly and quarterly financial narrative for the CFO, executive team, Board, and investors — translating consolidated results and variances into clear, decision-ready materials

• Capital Allocation: Provide the analytical backbone for how Crusoe prioritizes capital across competing, capital-intensive growth opportunities, including scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis

• Variance & Performance Analysis: Drive company-wide budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variance analysis, identifying risks and opportunities

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as the connective tissue between business-line FP&A teams, Accounting, Treasury, Corp Development and Investor Relations to ensure one consistent set of numbers across the company

• Process & Control Integrity: Ensure planning and reporting processes meet internal control standards and support audit and compliance requirements as Crusoe scales

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• Industry Experience: 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including meaningful time in corporate FP&A or central finance at a high-growth, capital-intensive company; experience in infrastructure, energy, data centers, or AI compute is a strong plus

• Financial Mastery: Deep expertise in financial consolidation, long-range planning, and capital allocation frameworks, including scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis across multiple business lines

• Systems Fluency: Hands-on experience standing up or scaling FP&A platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive, or equivalent) alongside advanced Excel proficiency

• Executive Communication: A track record of building materials for CFOs, executive teams, Boards, and investors, and the judgment to know what belongs on the page and what doesn't

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to align finance leaders across disparate business lines around one set of numbers and one planning calendar

• Leadership Potential: Experience building and developing a high-performing team, or a clear track record of readiness to do so

Bonus Points

• Experience operating in a vertically integrated company spanning both physical infrastructure (energy, manufacturing, construction) and software/cloud services

• Prior experience supporting fundraising, credit facilities, or investor reporting in a high-growth private company

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and equity packages

• Restricted Stock Units

• Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs

• Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance

• Employer contributions to HSA account

• Paid parental leave

• Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability

• 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary

• Volunteer time off

• Global travel insurance & emergency assistance

• Daily meals allowance
