Role
Who you are
- You have 7+ years of recruiting experience, with a significant portion dedicated to front-office finance (IB/PE/VC) or Strategic Finance/FP&A for high-growth tech
- You have a proven track record of successfully "converting" candidates from high cash roles into tech packages, effectively selling the trade-off between cash and equity
- You understand the cycles of the NYC finance world (bonus seasons, vesting cliffs, and associate-to-VP promotion tracks)
- You don't rely on inbound applicants; you are a power user of LinkedIn Recruiter and alternative networks to find "ungettable" talent
- Ou excel in a high-growth environment where we value both the pace of a startup and the analytical rigor of a financial institution
What the job involves
- We are seeking a high-stakes Senior Recruiter to lead the expansion of our Finance and Strategic Finance functions
- This isn't a generalist role; you will be the primary architect for attracting top-tier talent from Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Strategic Finance into Crusoe
- You will be responsible for identifying high-performers at top-bracket firms and convincingly articulating the Crusoe value proposition—specifically navigating the complex transition from high-cash finance roles to high-upside tech equity environments
- Strategic Advisory: Act as a peer to hiring managers in Finance and Accounting, advising on market maps, compensation benchmarks, and talent availability
- High-Touch Sourcing: Proactively hunt passive talent within Tier-1 banks and PE shops; you know how to bypass the "noise" of typical recruiting messages
- The Art of the Close: Lead complex compensation negotiations. You must be adept at explaining the long-term value of RSUs and the "equity story" to candidates accustomed to high annual cash bonuses
- Process Engineering: Build and refine interview loops that test for the specific rigor required for finance professionals transitioning into a fast-paced, "builder" environment
- Full-Cycle Ownership: Manage the entire candidate lifecycle, ensuring a white-glove experience for high-pedigree candidates
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 $1.4B in its latest 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.
