Senior Associate, Strategic Initiatives

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 ut the Role:

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company. We source power, manufacture modular data centers, build hyperscale campuses, and operate our own cloud. That puts us in four fast-moving markets at once: AI compute, power, data center construction, and manufacturing. Something important changes every week. A competitor raises, a hyperscaler signs a power deal, a GPU generation slips, a new model is released, a state rewrites its interconnection rules.

Someone has to see it first and analyze what it means for us.

The Strategy team sits in the Office of the President and Chief Strategy Officer. We write the position papers the executive team decides from, and we incubate new programs until they are ready for a permanent owner. Every one of those calls rests on a view of the market. You will build that view, and the system that keeps it current.

Your Mission:

Build the intelligence function that helps Crusoe see around corners.

You will develop a differentiated view of the markets, competitors and technologies shaping Crusoe's business, then translate that information into clear implications and recommendations for the company.

The role combines research, judgment and building. You will develop original market, innovation and competitive insights, partner across Crusoe to understand the questions that matter most and build AI-enabled systems that make high-quality intelligence faster, more reliable and easier to maintain.

Success is not measured by the volume of research produced. It is measured by whether the work helps Crusoe make better decisions, identify important changes earlier and solve meaningful business problems.

What You'll Be Working On:

Market and competitive intelligence

Build and maintain a differentiated view of the markets that matter to Crusoe, including AI compute and cloud, hyperscalers, neoclouds, semiconductors and accelerators, power and energy, data center infrastructure, manufacturing and other adjacent markets.

Develop competitive intelligence on key companies and ecosystems: strategy, customers, partnerships, capacity, economics, technology, geographic expansion and other indicators of how competitors are evolving.

Build structured market maps and datasets that allow Crusoe to understand how companies, customers, technologies and value chains connect.

Identify the developments that could materially affect Crusoe and distinguish meaningful signals from the much larger volume of industry noise.

Maintain rigorous sourcing and update standards so the underlying intelligence is trusted and auditable.

Original insight and strategic analysis

Turn fragmented information into clear, actionable insights for Crusoe. Identify what is changing, why it matters and what the company should consider doing differently.

Work cross functionally to translate business pain points into clear strategic questions, size opportunities, compare alternatives and test assumptions using both quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Synthesize external research with insights from customers, partners, experts and teams across Crusoe.

Write concise position papers and strategic briefs that articulate the conclusion, supporting evidence, implications for Crusoe, key uncertainties and recommended next steps.
