Role
Who you are
- This role requires a mastery of messaging and storytelling, combined with a "roll-up-your-sleeves" approach to execution and a meticulous eye for detail
- We are an AI-first company and are looking for a practitioner who views generative AI as a core part of their toolkit—someone who leverages modern AI agents and tools to scale their impact and sharpen their output
- Experience: 7+ years in communications or public relations, with a demonstrated track record of securing press results at top-tier outlets
- AI-First Mindset: You don't just talk about AI; you use it daily. You have integrated AI into your workflows—from deploying agents to automate tasks to using LLMs for research and drafting—and you adopt new tools as they emerge
- Domain Expertise: Experience working in the AI, AI infrastructure, cloud platform, or energy industries is strongly preferred
- Media Relations Expert: You have real, working relationships with journalists and influencers. You know how to pitch, place, and protect a narrative on your own
- Exceptional Writer: Especially in today’s AI-first world, your ability to write with nuance, clarity, and human insight is non-negotiable
- High-Agency: You are comfortable executing with limited resources and high ambiguity. You proactively identify opportunities and build the plan without waiting for a roadmap
- Collaborative & Low Ego: You know how to build trust across functions (Product, Legal, Marketing) and move fast without stepping on toes. We’re a lean team with no room for egos
- Results-Oriented: You are metrics-driven and accountable, with a track record of turning communications efforts into measurable business outcomes
What the job involves
- Crusoe is seeking a Sr. Manager, Communications to help us lead the conversation at the intersection of energy and AI. We are looking for a communications strategist and world-class writer who can translate complex technical topics into compelling stories that amplify our mission
- As the "engineer" behind our news programs, you will partner with teams across the company—from engineering to operations—to identify and develop a consistent cadence of high-impact moments
- News Engine: Manage a strategic news program that demonstrates momentum and amplifies Crusoe's core narratives across each of its business units
- Media and Influencer Relations: Build and maintain direct relationships with journalists across technology, infrastructure, energy, and financial media. You must be able to pitch and place stories independently; we need a practitioner who can "hunt" and isn't solely reliant on agencies
- Narrative Development: Partner with Crusoe’s subject matter experts to sharpen messaging—translating complex topics across AI infrastructure, energy, and cloud platforms into compelling stories for a range of audiences
- Thought Leadership: Work with Crusoe’s bench of spokespeople to develop and place high-impact op-eds, keynote scripts, and social media content that secures Crusoe’s position as a leader in the AI infrastructure market
- Issues Management: Monitor the media landscape closely and coordinate timely, strategic responses to industry shifts and challenges
- Agency Management: Manage our PR agency relationships day-to-day—setting clear priorities, holding teams accountable to outcomes, and ensuring resources are deployed against the highest-value opportunities
- Measurement: Own communications reporting. You will track coverage, share of voice, and program outcomes, using data to continuously improve strategy and demonstrate impact
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.
