Senior Director, People Operations

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 is building the infrastructure for the abundance of energy and intelligence, and we're growing at a pace that outstrips the systems most companies rely on to keep people supported. This role builds the operating layer that makes that growth possible. As Senior Director, Global People & Talent Operations, you own the end-to-end employee lifecycle — every hire, transfer, promotion, and exit — across a global, multi-entity workforce, and you own the systems, processes, and data that make those transactions accurate, compliant, and fast. You'll set the vision for our people and talent technology architecture, partner closely with People Technology through our Workday go-live and beyond, and build the service delivery model rather than inherit one. You'll also lead the People Operations team, growing its bench strength and capabilities as the company scales. This is a builder's role. The processes you design will replace the ones we've outgrown, and the standard you set for data integrity will determine what every report, program, and decision downstream can be built on. You'll bring an operator's instinct for when process creates leverage and when it creates drag, a bias toward automation and AI over manual repetition, and the judgment to make calls and move. What You'll Be Working On: People & Talent Tech Stack: drive the initial vision and architecture for the holistic people and talent systems and technology landscape in collaboration with all people teams and key stakeholder groups including but not limited to: IT, compliance, finance, accounting, safety and legal. Design and lead process to continuously update the architecture and product roadmap to ensure integration of systems to address key data hygiene, reporting, compliance and user experience needs Service delivery: own the end-to-end day to day employee administration lifecycle, from execution of individual transactions (hires, transfers, promotions, terminations) to the operational governance that keeps them accurate and compliant across a global, multi-entity workforce Team leadership: lead and grow the People Operations team, building the bench strength and capabilities needed to support the company at scale Operational integrity: own data accuracy, audit readiness, and controls across the employee lifecycle, resolving discrepancies at the source so every downstream transaction, report, and system built on that data can be trusted Process engineering: own end-to-end process design, SOPs, and RACI documentation for how work actually flows through People Operations, building and rebuilding processes as needed rather than just maintaining what exists Workday partnership: serve as the primary People Operations counterpart to the People Technology team through go-live and beyond,
