Crusoe Sustainability Program Manager at Crusoe responsible for operationalizing sustainability commitments across AI data centers and energy assets. Leads initiatives on water, waste, carbon, and supports green building certifications.
Responsibilities
As a Sustainability Program Manager, you will be an important member of Crusoe's sustainability team, transforming sustainability commitments into day-to-day operational reality. You will own the processes, training, and tracking that make our sustainability KPIs achievable and enforceable across a rapidly expanding portfolio of AI data centers and energy assets. You’ll work directly with cross-functional teams to translate targets into requirements, workflows, and accountability at the site and project level. This role suits someone with technical fluency in how manufacturing facilities and data centers are built and run, who is energized by designing scalable processes, driving adoption, and closing the gap between commitment and performance.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Lead operational sustainability initiatives related to water, waste, and carbon, from scoping through delivery, building project plans, aligning stakeholders, tracking milestones, and surfacing risks early.
Support sustainability implementation throughout the lifecycle of data center projects by helping to define, monitor, and improve data center construction and operational efficiency metrics, including embodied carbon, waste diversion, PUE, and WUE. Partner with internal teams and external partners to identify performance gaps and drive improvements.
Design and implement the processes, SOPs, and checklists that embed sustainability requirements into manufacturing, construction, commissioning, and site operations, and train site teams, contractors, and partners to apply them consistently.
Support green building certification strategies (e.g., LEED, Green Globes) across new builds, coordinating documentation, consultants, and design team inputs.
Build and maintain dashboards, trackers, and automated workflows that give teams timely visibility into operational performance, using AI-enabled tools to reduce manual effort.
Manage renewable energy tracking and energy performance data, working with Energy, Finance, and Operations teams to monitor portfolio status and surface risks and opportunities.
Provide as-needed support across the broader sustainability team, flexing into emerging priorities, ad-hoc data requests, and new initiatives as the business evolves.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, environmental science, sustainability, data analytics, or a related field. Candidates from other backgrounds with demonstrated technical depth are encouraged to apply.
Experience: 4-7 years of professional experience in sustainability operations, construction or energy management, supply chain or supplier management, or environmental consulting, ideally within the data center, cloud infrastructure, energy, or technology sectors. This should include hands-on management of operational programs, performance metrics, or compliance and enforcement processes.
