Strategic Initiatives and Government Operations Manager at Crusoe · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company. Crusoe sources power, manufactures modular data centers, builds hyperscale campuses, and operates its own cloud. Our ability to execute across this stack of capabilities requires Crusoe to coordinate closely with governments, utilities, communities, and other local stakeholders that impact both our social license to operate and control the permits, entitlements, and regulations that govern our operations. Every new campus and facility depends on a unique combination of permitting, interconnection, tax policy, workforce programs, and local trust to move forward. Every one of those also shapes our cost structure and our differentiation vis-a-vis competitors. Our ability to treat and understand each of these communities as a unique collaborator, while operating at increasing scale is critical to Crusoe’s ongoing growth and approach.
Policy and data center regulation is moving increasingly quickly in our markets, and our approach must constantly adapt with it. A state or country may rewrite its data center incentives or regulations, a utility commission may change large-load tariffs, a federal agency may issue a new program, or a community may push back on a project. Our team has to see it, understand what it means for the business, and help the broader organization act at scale.
The Strategic Initiatives and Government Operations role will work directly with the Senior Manager of Strategic Initiatives and the VP of Government Affairs within the Chief Strategy Officer’s organization. We turn policy, regulatory, and community realities into business decisions that improve the communities in which we operate, making Crusoe the preferred AI-infrastructure provider for our partners, customers, communities, and regulators. We ensure Crusoe's growth is both profitable and differentiated, and that our business delivers real social and environmental value wherever possible.
This role will have two core functions:
Help Crusoe scope, analyze, and execute on big, strategic bets with a clear view of the government, community, and commercial forces that decide whether they succeed.
Enable the broader Government Affairs team’s operations by connecting the dots; creating cross-functional workflows, products, and reports that bring insight to light and allow team members and executives to improve decision-making; and embedding AI across the team’s day-to-day operations
Across these two core functions, you will build quantitative and qualitative analysis, run initiatives, and turn ambiguous problems into structured plans and recommendations for leadership. You will work closely with the Senior Manager of Strategic Initiatives and the VP of Government Affairs while partnering closely with the commercial, energy, development, finance, and sustainability teams to ensure our initiatives support and are integrated into the company’s broader operations.
This will be a fast–paced, ambiguous role, requiring strong communication and prioritization of competing initiatives and responsibilities. Success in this role will entail a mixture of robust analysis, communication, and organization as well as pragmatic execution. It will be measured by whether your work helps Crusoe win the right projects, make better decisions, and build a business that is both profitable and good for the communities it serves.
What You'll Be Working On
Strategic bets: scope, analyze, and execute
Scope and frame high-priority strategic initiatives with the Senior Manager of Strategic Initiatives, from early hypothesis through execution and handoff to a permanent owner.
Analyze the government, regulatory, and community forces behind new markets, campuses, facilities, and initiatives: permitting, entitlements, interconnection, incentives, tax policy, housing, environment, and workforce programs, across states and countries.
