Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company that owns and operates the full stack from power generation to cloud services. The company is solving the AI compute bottleneck through an energy-first approach, combining on-site generation, stranded/flared gas, grid power, and renewable energy sources to power large-scale AI workloads. The Director of Finance for Power Production & Energy will serve as the embedded finance partner to Crusoe's Power Production and Energy organization. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring deep expertise in energy economics and capital project evaluation. Key responsibilities include: - 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, ensuring optimal asset performance and cost management. - PPA & Offtake Evaluation: Financially model and evaluate power purchase agreements, interconnection arrangements, and offtake contracts. Work closely with Legal and Energy teams on deal structuring and commercial terms. - Capital Planning for Energy Infrastructure: Lead capital planning and investment cases for new generation, transmission, and energy storage projects. Track returns against underwriting assumptions and ensure disciplined capital deployment. - FP&A Integration: Own all financial planning and analysis associated with power generation and energy. Ensure proper reflection in close, forecast, budget, and long-range planning processes. - Energy Market Analysis: Monitor wholesale power and natural gas market trends. Translate market movements into financial impact and planning assumptions for leadership decision-making. - Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as connective tissue between Power Production, Data Center Operations, and corporate FP&A. Ensure power supply plans and compute demand forecasts remain aligned. - Regulatory & Incentive Tracking: Evaluate financial impact of energy tax credits, environmental regulations, and policy changes on generation economics and project returns. The ideal candidate brings 8+ years of finance experience with meaningful time supporting power generation, energy, or utilities businesses. Strong understanding of power economics (LCOE, capacity factors, fuel cost pass-through, PPA structures) is essential. Advanced financial modeling skills and experience evaluating capital projects with technical teams are required. Familiarity with energy market dynamics and excellent stakeholder management skills are critical for success.
