About the role

Senior IC role in Crusoe's Capacity Planning & Efficiency team, shaping multi-year capacity strategy, capital deployment, and policy across Crusoe's infrastructure and products.

Responsibilities

  • Capacity Strategy: Set the multi-year capacity posture Crusoe plans against - build versus lease versus partner, regional siting, technology transition timing, fleet refresh economics, and how much speculative capacity to carry ahead of contracted demand.
  • Capital Deployment Recommendations: Own the analysis behind Crusoe's largest infrastructure commitments. Frame the options, quantify the downside, and make the recommendation the exec staff acts on - then own whether it was right.
  • Allocation Policy: Own the policy governing how scarce capacity is allocated across customers, products, and regions, and make the contested calls that cannot be resolved inside the planning cycle.
  • Planning Methodology & Standards: Define how planning is done across the function - models, taxonomy, horizons, accuracy standards, review bar - and hold the GPU, compute and storage, hardware and supply chain, and integrated planners to it.
  • Executive, Board & Capital Partner Narrative: Own the capacity story told to the exec staff, the board, and Crusoe's lenders and investors. Translate a physically constrained build plan into the numbers and confidence intervals those audiences need.
  • Supply Strategy: Co-own Crusoe's strategic supply posture with Supply Chain - allocation negotiations with silicon and system vendors, multi-sourcing strategy, and the commitments made years ahead of the demand that justifies them.
  • Product & Commercial Influence: Bring capacity economics into product and pricing decisions - what Crusoe should sell, in what shape, on what commitment terms, given what it can actually build and at what cost.
  • Function Maturity & Technical Leadership: Define the multi-year roadmap for how capacity planning matures at Crusoe, and raise the bar across the team through mentoring, review standards, and shaping how the function hires and levels.

Qualifications

  • Planning Strategy Leadership: 12+ years in infrastructure capacity planning, IBP/S&OP, supply and demand planning, or infrastructure strategy, including at least one tour owning planning strategy for a large fleet rather than executing someone else's.
  • Capital Strategy Judgment: A track record behind large infrastructure commitments - build versus lease analysis, depreciation and residual value strategy, and the discipline to be clear about what you do not know when the number is very large.
  • Breadth With Real Depth: Technical fluency across compute, storage, network, accelerated computing, and the power and site constraints that gate deployment - plus genuine depth in at least one, enough that specialists treat you as a peer.
  • Executive Presence: You have owned the number in front of a board, an investment committee, or a lender, and held up under questioning. Structured narrative, crisp documentation, and presentations that turn a complex plan into a decision.
  • Supplier Negotiation: Direct experience in strategic allocation and commitment conversations with silicon vendors, system integrators, or hyperscale suppliers.
  • Modeling Craft: Expert-level Excel or Google Sheets, plus the judgment to know when a model should stop being a spreadsheet and become a system.
  • Technical Leadership Without Authority: You have raised the standard of work on a team you did not manage, and can point to planners or engineers who are better at their craft because of it.
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Mathematics, Data Science, or an equivalent technical field.
