Director, Cost Analytics

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 — with an 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.

Crusoe’s Finance team is looking for a Director to lead financial analytics and project costing for our data center build portfolio. This role will serve as the finance partner to Data Center Construction and Development, creating the financial and analytical framework needed to understand what our projects cost, why costs move, and where opportunities exist to improve capital efficiency.

The Director will own the financial view of project cost performance across the build lifecycle—from early-stage estimates and investment decisions through construction, commissioning, and project completion. This person will establish consistent cost structures, benchmarks, forecasting methodologies, and performance reporting across projects and translate detailed construction data into actionable insights for leadership.

This is not simply a project accounting role. We’re looking for someone who can build a cost intelligence capability that helps Crusoe make better decisions about where and how we deploy capital.

• 8+ years of experience spanning construction finance, project controls, capital projects accounting, or project finance, ideally within data centers, energy, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure; direct exposure to data center or facilities operations finance strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated experience managing construction budgets, cost reporting, and draw processes on large capital projects (typically $100M+ in scale).

• Familiarity with construction loan agreements, draw/funding mechanics, and lender/independent engineer requirements.

• Working knowledge of GC/EPC contract structures, change order management, and construction risk allocation (bonding, retainage, liquidated damages).

• Experience managing operating budgets and cost performance for live facilities, ideally data centers or other mission-critical operating assets.

• Understanding of how construction-phase decisions (design, equipment selection, contract terms) affect long-term operating costs and asset performance

• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills; comfort building and maintaining detailed cost-tracking tools across both build and operate phases.

• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects/sites in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills; able to work directly with construction managers, GCs, data center operations teams, lenders, and internal finance/accounting teams.

• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, construction management, engineering, or related field required; MBA or CPA a plus.
