## Job description

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.

About the Role: We're seeking an enthusiastic Director of Employee Success to join our dynamic People Team at Crusoe Energy.

- Proactively strive to maintain a positive work environment that respects and supports inclusion, diversity, employee morale and overall well-being
- Conduct organizational assessments, talent gap analyses, and structure recommendations to align business strategy with HR initiatives
- Facilitate off-boarding for voluntary and involuntary terminations, when necessary

What You'll Bring to the Team:

- 10+ years of experience working as an Employee Business Partner with an ability to foster positive relationships between employees and an organization resulting in evidence of favorable outcomes
- Ability to travel about 30% of the time
