About The Position

Crusoe's Finance team is looking for a Director to serve as the embedded finance partner to our Power Production and Energy organization. Crusoe's data centers are powered by a mix of on-site generation, stranded and flared gas, and grid and renewable power purchase agreements — and this role owns the financial lens on how those power sources are sourced, priced, and delivered. You'll partner closely with Power Generation, Energy, and Data Center Operations teams to model plant and fuel economics, evaluate power purchase agreements, and make sure capital deployed into generation and energy infrastructure is delivering the returns the business needs. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who wants to bring finance discipline to the energy side of an AI infrastructure company.

Familiarity with energy market dynamics, including wholesale power pricing and natural gas markets
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical energy concepts into clear financial narratives for leadership
