Strategic Project Manager, Real Estate

Crusoe•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Crusoe is seeking a Strategic Project Manager, Real Estate to serve as the primary operational engine for our SVP of Real Estate. This is not a traditional administrative role; it is a purpose-built partnership for a high-level operator who blends executive support with domain-specific intuition. As the SVP’s most trusted day-to-day partner, you will function as an extension of their leadership. You’ll be responsible for managing high-stakes priorities, exercising delegated authority, and ensuring the Real Estate function operates at peak velocity. You sit at the critical intersection of strategy execution, professional judgment, and relationship management.

Requirements

5–8 years in senior business operations, executive partnership, or real estate operations.
A strong background (or deep interest) in commercial real estate, energy infrastructure, or large-scale industrial development.
Proven ability to communicate with and influence senior stakeholders while maintaining absolute confidentiality and poise.
Exceptional organizational skills. You should be comfortable navigating "the weeds" of a lease agreement while keeping the 30,000-foot strategy in view.
Proficiency with project tracking and RE tools
A proactive, low-ego approach. You find professional satisfaction in making the broader organization more effective and scalable.

Responsibilities

Architect and optimize the SVP’s workflow, ensuring their time is ruthlessly protected and allocated to the highest-impact land, power, and infrastructure initiatives.
Represent the SVP in internal and external forums. You will deliver updates, synthesize complex information, and act as a credible voice for the office of the SVP when they are not in the room.
Exercise high-level judgment to manage approvals, coordinate urgent escalations, and make informed decisions within a defined scope to keep projects moving.
Serve as the central communications hub. You will draft executive-level correspondence, prepare briefing materials, and translate raw data into polished board-ready presentations.
Track critical deal milestones and portfolio-level deliverables. You’ll keep a pulse on land acquisition, power procurement, and lease workstreams to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Lead special projects that require tight coordination between Legal, Finance, and Operations to drive commercial outcomes.
Proactively identify friction points in the Real Estate team’s workflows and implement the systems or communication rhythms needed to fix them.
