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 — withan 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.
The Director, Energy Innovation And Commercialization will create strategic advantage for Crusoe by scouting, vetting and adopting new technologies and techniques to generate or access electricity for AI computing infrastructure.This position will create and drive an incubation engine that converts new technology into scalable deployment and durable strategic advantage for Crusoe.
The Director role is designed to put Crusoe at the forefront of energy-first AI infrastructure development by turning frontier energy technologies and market mechanisms into real, deployable electrical power that is contractable, financeable, and deliverable on schedule and with bounded risk.
You will work directly with the Chief Strategy Officer in an environment of high intensity and requiring high trust. This is not a research-only role. This is not a deals-only role. It is a multidisciplinary role that spans strategy, technical vetting and incubation, market evaluation, public affairs influence, and venture capital-style commercial thinking across frontier technologies and early stage teams.
The ideal candidate is a commercially-minded engineer with the ability to evaluate energy technologies on the basis of design, operations, economics and strategic value. Candidates must display compelling interpersonal skills and a capability to build relationships, develop partnerships, persuade and drive negotiations. The role requires strong leadership, communication and presentation skills. Candidates must possess extremely strong critical thinking and problem solving skills, a high degree of agency, a bias towards action, comfort operating independently, and an ability to think creatively about evolving markets, technologies and competitive dynamics.
This position offers exposure to the most influential participants in industry and government around the world across energy, infrastructure, capital markets, technology, and policy. The Director will shape the future of how the Artificial Intelligence industry is powered, and will leverage Crusoe's many billions of dollars of purchasing power to advance new energy solutions to the forefront of the AI industrial revolution. This role has the ability to change the world in the case of success.
This position is currently remote-based within Texas; however, please note that this is not a permanent remote role. The company is in the process of establishing a physical office presence in Texas, and employees will be expected to transition to an in-office schedule once the facility is operational. Additionally, this role requires frequent travel to meet with clients and stakeholders. Candidates must be willing and able to meet these travel and future relocation/commute requirements.
Reporting to the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, the Director will collaborate with cross-functional partners to develop and execute energy technology strategies. This role is pivotal in driving Crusoe's competitive edge through cost efficiencies, operational excellence, supply chain optimization, and the cultivation of new revenue streams and business models.
Work will range across identification of promising energy technologies, definition and negotiation of new commercial structures and associated agreements, running pilot projects often in tandem with Crusoe Spark modular data center deployments, and producing research or thought leadership that shapes the industry and positions Crusoe at the forefront of energy innovation in the AI industry.
What You'll Bring To The Team:
Position Crusoe at the forefront of energy-first AI infrastructure development
Map the frontier of energy technologies and develop campus-level technoeconomic models incorporating future technologies
Incubate and de-risk new technologies into deployable pathways
Drive deal flow for Crusoe's Corporate Development team
Negotiate and close high-impact commercial agreements
Develop novel market structures that create differentiated access to power
Thought leadership and original research
