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.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Workplace Food & Beverage Manager to lead the next chapter of food at Crusoe: creating one aligned Food & Beverage strategy across every site type: offices, data centers, and manufacturing — and transitioning to an in-house lunch and catering partner who can support both daily meal programs and catering needs company-wide.

This is a foundational, high-impact role, you’ll shape our approach to food and beverage at every site, for years to come.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Define and lead Crusoe’s global Food & Beverage strategy, creating alignment across every site type — offices, data centers, and manufacturing — under one cohesive, scalable model.
• Establish company-wide F&B guidelines and ensure offerings adhere to them at every site, covering food quality, dietary inclusivity, vendor standards, sustainability, and cost efficiency.
• Transition Crusoe to an in-house lunch and catering partner that can support both daily meal programs and catering needs — All Hands, site events, and larger gatherings — consistently across every location.
• Lead F&B planning for new site openings: offices, data centers, and manufacturing — from initial strategy through launch.
• Partner with Site Operations and EHS to tailor F&B standards for shift-based, industrial environments at our data centers and manufacturing sites.
• Own program economics: build and manage the global F&B budget, benchmark costs, and drive efficiency as the program scales.
• Build sustainability into the program by design, reducing waste, sourcing responsibly, and tracking progress against goals.
• Manage and elevate vendor relationships, equipping regional Workplace Managers with playbooks to run the program locally with consistency.
• Track program health, employee satisfaction, cost per person, waste diverted, and vendor performance, and share progress with leadership.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 7+ years leading food & beverage, corporate dining, or hospitality programs, with a track record of building or scaling programs across multiple sites.
• Proven experience designing catering, dining, or events programs, including vendor selection, contract negotiation, and service-model design.
• Experience supporting food service in industrial, manufacturing, data center, or other 24/7 shift-based environments, in addition to traditional offices.
• Strong vendor negotiation and contract management skills, with an eye for consistency and quality across a growing portfolio of sites.
• Confidence building and owning a multi-site budget, with a data-driven approach to cost modeling and decision-making.
• Strong grounding in sustainable food service practices and how to translate them into vendor standards.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — this role partners closely with senior leadership, regional Workplace teams, and vendors alike.
• Willingness to travel ~25–30% of the time to Crusoe offices, data centers, and manufacturing sites.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
