Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company building energy-efficient solutions to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. The company owns and operates each layer of the stack—from electrons to tokens—to address the critical bottleneck of power in AI compute.
You will serve as Director of Accounting, reporting to the Corporate Controller, and own all accounting, cost accounting, and financial reporting for Crusoe's manufacturing business. You will lead a multi-site team of 8+ accounting professionals and act as the primary finance partner to manufacturing leadership across operations, supply chain, engineering, quality, and procurement.
Key responsibilities include:
**Leadership & Strategy:** Build and develop your accounting team across multiple manufacturing facilities, setting structure, hiring plans, and career development paths. Partner closely with manufacturing leadership to translate plant and assembly metrics into financial insights that drive decisions on capacity, make-vs-buy, sourcing, and pricing. Drive financial accountability by setting cost targets and tracking performance. Advise executive leadership on product and program margins, cost-reduction opportunities, and the financial impact of design, material, and process changes.
**Cost Accounting & Inventory:** Own the cost accounting framework, including standard cost methodology, annual standard-setting, overhead absorption, and labor rates. Set and oversee inventory accounting policy covering valuation, WIP, high-value long-lead components, reserves, and excess/obsolete inventory. Lead manufacturing variance analysis (purchase price, usage, labor, overhead) and turn results into actionable cost-improvement initiatives. Own new-product and new-program cost estimates and margin modeling in partnership with Engineering and Sales.
**Close, Reporting & Controls:** Ensure timely, accurate month-end close for the manufacturing entity and present results, key drivers, and risks to the Controller, CAO, and operations leadership. Ensure US GAAP compliance and build the manufacturing control environment to a SOX-ready, audit-ready standard. Serve as the primary contact for external auditors on manufacturing and inventory matters. Lead the manufacturing entity's annual budget and rolling forecasts in collaboration with FP&A.
**Systems & Scale:** Act as the accounting owner for ERP manufacturing modules (BOMs, routings, work orders, costing) and lead system improvements and implementations. Design, document, and continuously improve scalable processes with a focus on automation as new facilities and product lines come online.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting; CPA or CMA required
- 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 5+ years in manufacturing or cost accounting and 3+ years leading teams (including managers)
- Proven ownership of standard costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis in a complex, multi-site manufacturing environment
- Deep experience with ERP manufacturing modules (BOMs, routings, job and work-order costing); ERP implementation experience is a plus
- Experience with complex inventory such as WIP, engineered-to-order, or high-value long-lead components
- Strong knowledge of US GAAP and internal controls; SOX, public-company, or Big 4 experience is a plus
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
- High operational credibility: comfortable on the factory floor and able to influence senior operations and engineering leaders
- Track record of scaling teams, processes, and systems in a high-growth environment
