About The Position

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Project Manager to lead Crusoe Spark deployments and capacity expansion projects within our Cloud Deployment Operations team. This role is responsible for driving the end-to-end planning and execution of new Spark infrastructure deployments as well as capacity expansions within existing Crusoe data center environments. Projects will span early planning and site readiness through infrastructure delivery, hardware deployment, validation, and operational handoff. As the Project Manager, you will serve as the central point of coordination across engineering, construction, site operations, procurement, logistics, vendors, and cloud infrastructure teams. You will own integrated project plans, manage dependencies and critical milestones, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure teams remain aligned to deliver new and expanded capacity safely, efficiently, and on schedule. This role requires a strong project leader who can manage multiple deployments and capacity expansions in parallel, translate technical dependencies into actionable project plans, and drive cross-functional teams toward clear milestones and customer readiness dates.

Requirements

5+ years of technical project or program management experience supporting data centers, cloud infrastructure, construction, hardware deployments, capacity expansion, or other large-scale technical infrastructure programs.
Demonstrated ability to own complex, cross-functional projects from planning through execution and operational handoff.
Strong understanding of data center infrastructure and deployment concepts, including power, cooling, networking, structured cabling, servers, storage, GPU infrastructure, commissioning, and operational readiness.
Experience coordinating infrastructure expansions within existing environments, including evaluating available space, power, network, and supporting infrastructure required to deploy additional capacity.
Proven experience developing and managing integrated project schedules, milestones, dependencies, critical paths, and delivery forecasts.
Ability to identify risks early, understand downstream impacts, develop mitigation strategies, and drive issues to resolution.
Experience coordinating contractors, equipment suppliers, integrators, and other external partners against defined scopes and project schedules.
Ability to bring together engineering, operations, construction, procurement, logistics, and business stakeholders to drive decisions and maintain alignment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex project and technical information into concise status updates, risks, decisions, and recommendations.
Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple deployments, capacity expansions, workstreams, dependencies, and priorities simultaneously.
Comfortable operating in environments where requirements, schedules, and priorities can change quickly. Able to establish structure, drive decisions, and maintain project momentum.
Ability to travel to Crusoe Spark and data center locations as needed to support planning, execution, and deployment activities.

Responsibilities

Lead Crusoe deployment projects from kickoff and planning through site readiness, infrastructure deployment, validation, and operational handoff.
Lead infrastructure capacity expansion projects within existing Crusoe data centers to support increasing customer and platform demand. Coordinate the addition of compute, GPU, storage, networking, and supporting infrastructure while minimizing impact to existing production environments.
Build and maintain comprehensive project schedules covering design, construction, procurement, logistics, network readiness, hardware deployment, commissioning, validation, and customer readiness.
Coordinate with construction, facilities, engineering, Site Operations, and deployment teams to ensure sites and data halls are ready for new Spark deployments and capacity expansions.
Drive alignment across Cloud Deployment Operations, Digital Infrastructure Group (DIG), Network Engineering, Site Operations, Fleet/SRE, Compute, Storage, Procurement, Logistics, Product, and other supporting organizations.
Identify cross-functional dependencies and critical-path activities and ensure owners, required dates, and handoffs are clearly established.
Coordinate procurement, delivery, and readiness of GPUs, servers, networking equipment, storage, cabling, power infrastructure, optics, licenses, and ancillary equipment required for deployments and expansions.
Coordinate installation and deployment sequencing across data halls and existing production environments to maximize available capacity while minimizing operational risk.
Coordinate external vendors and partners, ensuring scope, schedules, deliverables, site access, and completion criteria align with overall deployment plans.
Proactively identify schedule risks, blockers, resource constraints, hardware lead times, infrastructure limitations, and technical dependencies. Drive mitigation plans and escalation paths to protect key milestones.
Provide clear phase milestones and handoff criteria, ensuring effective transitions.
Provide clear and consistent project updates covering progress, upcoming milestones, risks, decisions, dependencies, and required actions.
Contribute to and continuously improve repeatable project management processes, schedules, documentation, reporting, and deployment playbooks that enable Crusoe to deploy and expand infrastructure more efficiently at scale.
