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.

As VP of Product Management, you will own the vision, strategy, execution and roadmap for this business, reporting to the SVP of Product Management and partnering directly with the VP Engineering for Managed AI Services.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Proven product management track record with AI/ML services, including experience building AI managed services and scaling them from scratch

• Experience managing and launching technical products and features for AI-native, digital-native and enterprise customers
• Proven experience building, leading and mentoring product management teams
• Strategic leadership: the ability to set a clear vision, make informed decisions with incomplete information, and guide a cross-functional team toward market awareness, adoption, revenue and gross margin goals
