Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including meaningful time in FP&A leadership, finance transformation, or finance systems roles
- Direct experience partnering with Accounting on capital asset policy, depreciation methodology, or capitalization standards, ideally in an asset-heavy or infrastructure business
- Track record of owning or driving major finance systems implementations or upgrades (ERP, EPM/planning tools, or BI platforms)
- Deep understanding of forecasting and planning methodologies, with the ability to design frameworks that scale across multiple business units
- Strong process orientation — comfortable documenting, standardizing, and driving adoption of new ways of working across a finance organization
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with credibility to influence Accounting, IT, and business-unit leaders
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA, MBA, or equivalent experience a plus
- 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
What the job involves
- Crusoe's Finance team is looking for a Senior Director, Finance Business Enablement to own the foundational infrastructure that the rest of Finance runs on
- This is not a traditional FP&A business-partnering role — it's the role that makes every other finance role work better
- You'll partner closely with Accounting on capital and depreciation policy as Crusoe's asset base scales, own the systems and tools roadmap for Finance (ERP, planning, and reporting platforms), and set the forecasting methodologies and standards that FP&A teams across the business use to plan and report
- You'll report into Finance leadership and work cross-functionally with Accounting, IT, Data Center Operations, and business-unit FP&A teams to make sure Finance's tools, policies, and processes keep pace with a fast-growing, capital-intensive business
- Depreciation & Capital Policy: partner with Accounting to define and maintain depreciation methodologies and useful-life assumptions for data center, compute, and infrastructure assets, ensuring policies keep pace with technology refresh cycles and asset utilization
- Systems & Tools Strategy: own the roadmap for Finance's core systems — ERP, FP&A/planning platforms, and reporting tools — evaluating build-vs-buy decisions and leading implementations or upgrades as the business scales
- Process Standardization: build repeatable, well-documented processes for planning, reporting, and month-end close support, reducing manual work and one-off spreadsheets across the finance organization
- Cross-Functional Governance: act as the connective tissue between Accounting, IT, and business-unit Finance teams, ensuring capital policy, system changes, and forecasting standards are adopted consistently
- Data & Reporting Infrastructure: improve the underlying data architecture and reporting layer that FP&A relies on, partnering with Data/Engineering teams to reduce reliance on manual reconciliation
- Change Management & Training: roll out new tools, policies, and methodologies with clear documentation and training so adoption sticks across a growing, distributed finance team
Our take
Crusoe is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing the digital age: the enormous energy demand of data centres and AI infrastructure. As AI models grow more powerful, they require immense computing power (and therefor electricity) to train and operate. This surge in energy use has put some pressure on power grids, driven up costs, and raised environmental concerns. Crusoe is on a mission to make this process more sustainable by finding smarter, cleaner, and more efficient ways to power the data centres that drive modern computing.
The company started out by putting wasted energy to work. Originally known as Crusoe Energy, it captured natural gas that would otherwise be burned off ("flared") at remote oil sites and used it to power modular data centres. Today, Crusoe has evolved into a major player in AI infrastructure, designing and operating large-scale data centres near renewable or stranded energy sources. It's now one of a handful of "neocloud" companies (next-generation cloud providers focused on flexible, efficient computing for AI workloads). And its facilities are helping tech giants like OpenAI handle the massive computing requirements of training advanced AI models.
Recently, Crusoe has attracted some huge investor attention, tripling its valuation to over $10B and raising almost $1.4B in its 2025 funding round. It's building OpenAI's first major US data centre campus and even experimenting with bold new frontiers. In partnership with Starcloud, Crusoe plans to deploy the world's first space-based cloud computing infrastructure, powered by solar energy and orbiting the Earth by 2027. If successful, this could redefine how and where computing happens, opening up a cleaner, virtually limitless source of energy for AI's next generation.
