About The Position

Crusoe is looking for a Senior 3PL Strategy & Relationship Manager to join their Cloud and Digital Infrastructure organization. This role will be responsible for shifting the company's logistics footprint from a reactive operational model to a proactive, centralized strategy. The company is scaling rapidly and needs to order long-lead datacenter infrastructure in advance and store it strategically across a complex geographic footprint. The individual in this role will be the architect of the third-party logistics (3PL) network, ensuring maximum inventory availability while navigating distinct sales tax and corporate structures. This is a strategic role requiring a mix of inventory optimization, vendor negotiation, and cross-functional tax compliance coordination.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in strategic logistics, supply chain management, or 3PL relationship management, ideally within capital-intensive tech infrastructure (Data Centers, Cloud, Telecom, or Energy).
Strong foundational understanding of how logistics networks impact corporate accounting, specifically regarding project-based funding, inventory asset holding costs, and sales/use tax implications.
Proven track record of transforming a decentralized, reactive operational warehouse footprint into a centralized, data-driven inventory hub.
Experience taking high-cost, third-party boutique logistics or customs processes and successfully building those capabilities in-house.
Deep understanding of material planning, managing lead times, and executing fungible inventory strategies in high-shortage environments.
Familiarity with modern ERPs, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and data visualization tools to build internal logistics dashboards.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and manage Crusoe’s regionalized and centralized 3PL warehousing network to buffer supply chain shortages and optimize lead times for data center deployments.
Partner closely with internal Finance and Tax teams to ensure all warehousing strategies account for separate project-funding models and localized sales/use tax implications.
Build tracking frameworks to eliminate tax exposure when storing assets across different jurisdictions.
Establish frameworks to identify "fungible" vs. site-specific inventory.
Create a dynamic redeployment strategy to safely relocate high-demand components when critical operational sites face shortages.
Establish robust SLAs, QBRs, and performance dashboards to ensure logistics partners scale seamlessly at Crusoe’s speed.
Act as the strategic link between Product, Supply Chain Planning, Engineering, and Finance to translate future infrastructure roadmaps into tangible warehousing footprint requirements.
