Senior Manager, Business Operations

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 Business Operations team within the CFO/COO function, where you’ll serve as the bridge between executive strategy and operational execution. This role will be actively involved in building Crusoe's operating rhythm and informing decision-making. You'll drive the company's most critical cross-functional initiatives, making sure speed and structure move together. This role will also help establish Crusoe’s M&A integration function, creating the standardized playbooks, workflows, and structures we need to execute deals rapidly and capture their full value. This is a high-visibility role for a strong operator who thrives on ambiguity. You’ll own problems end-to-end: scoping them, assembling the right team, driving execution, and reporting outcomes to leadership. We're seeking a results-driven operator with 8+ years of experience who is energized by fast-moving environments where the playbook hasn't been written yet. What You'll Be Working On: - Cross-Functional Company Initiatives: Lead high-priority initiatives that connect the dots across energy, infrastructure, cloud, and SG&A, focused on driving cross-functional alignment and business outcomes. - M&A Integration Playbook: Help build Crusoe’s M&A integration muscle (the playbooks and frameworks we’ll reuse across every deal) and lead end-to-end integration execution for active transactions, coordinating across product, finance, legal, people, engineering, and ops. Translate deal intent into operational reality so the strategic rationale behind each acquisition is reflected in how we integrate the business. - Analysis & Insights: Structure ambiguous problems, synthesize data from across the business, and deliver actionable recommendations to executive leadership. - Operating Rhythm and Process Improvement: Design and roll out operational frameworks and processes that improve how Crusoe plans, makes decisions, and executes. - Ad-Hoc Projects: Step into ambiguous, high-stakes projects that will help move the needle on our business; define the problem, structure the work, and drive to outcome. What You'll Bring to the Team: - Must-Haves - 8+ years of experience in business operations, M&A integration, corporate development, management consulting, investment banking, or a comparable role at a high-growth technology or capital-intensive company - Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, from scoping through execution - Strong problem solving and analytical skills with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and communicate insights to senior leaders - Proven ability to build trusted relationships and drive alignment across teams without direct authority - Excellent written and verbal communication skills - Self-starter who can manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced environment - Nice to Have - Hands-on experience running M&A integrations (not just advising on them) including building playbooks, work-plans, managing cross-functional work-streams, and tracking against milestones - MBA or advanced degree in a quantitative or business discipline - Experience with consumption-based or capital intensive business models - Experience in businesses related to artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, enterprise software, and/or AI chip development 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 - Professional development & tuition reimbursement - Mental health & wellness support - Commuter benefits (parking & transit) - Cell phone stipend - 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary - Volunteer time off - Global travel insurance & emergency assistance - Daily meals allowance - Additional perks & programs specific to location Compensation Range Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $195,000 - $235,000 + Bonus.
