About the Role:

Crusoe's Finance team is looking for a Director to serve as the embedded finance partner to our Power Production and Energy organization. Crusoe's data centers are powered by a mix of on-site generation, stranded and flared gas, and grid and renewable power purchase agreements — and this role owns the financial lens on how those power sources are sourced, priced, and delivered. You'll partner closely with Power Generation, Energy, and Data Center Operations teams to model plant and fuel economics, evaluate power purchase agreements, and make sure capital deployed into generation and energy infrastructure is delivering the returns the business needs. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who wants to bring finance discipline to the energy side of an AI infrastructure company.

 

What You'll Be Working On:

• Power Generation Economics: partner with the Power Production team to model levelized cost of energy (LCOE), plant utilization, and unit economics across on-site generation assets

• PPA & Offtake Evaluation: financially model and evaluate power purchase agreements, interconnection arrangements, and offtake contracts, working with Legal and Energy teams on deal structuring

• Capital Planning for Energy Infrastructure: partner on capital planning and investment cases for new generation, transmission, and energy storage projects, tracking returns against underwriting assumptions

• FP&A: associated with all power generation and energy, ensure it is reflected appropriately in close, forecast, budget and long-range planning

• Energy Market Analysis: monitor wholesale power and natural gas market trends, and translate market movements into financial impact and planning assumptions for leadership

• Cross-Functional Alignment: act as the connective tissue between Power Production, Data Center Operations, and corporate FP&A, ensuring power supply plans and compute demand forecasts stay aligned

• Regulatory & Incentive Tracking: evaluate the financial impact of energy tax credits, environmental regulations, and policy changes on generation economics and project returns

 

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 8+ years of finance experience, including meaningful time supporting a power generation, energy, or utilities business

• Strong understanding of power and energy economics — LCOE, capacity factors, fuel cost pass-through, and power purchase agreement structures

• Advanced financial modeling skills, comfortable building project finance or asset-level models from scratch

• Experience evaluating capital projects and partnering with technical teams (engineering, operations) to underwrite investment decisions

• Familiarity with energy market dynamics, including wholesale power pricing and natural gas markets

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical energy concepts into clear financial narratives for leadership

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field; MBA a plus
