Sustainability Director

Director, Sustainability

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.

As a Director, Sustainability, you'll be a key member of Crusoe's sustainability team and lead the integration of sustainable design standards and construction practices across our Digital Infrastructure Group. This is a high-impact role that combines deep technical expertise in green building with strategic leadership across broader corporate sustainability initiatives. You will work cross-functionally to embed sustainability into how we plan, design, build, and operate our infrastructure.

• Support sustainability due diligence and integration for new data center developments, including environmental impacts and permitting requirements
• Support the evaluation and implementation of technologies and solutions that enhance energy, water, and operational efficiency (e.g., AI-driven energy management, water reuse and recycling, high-efficiency mechanical and electrical systems, onsite renewable energy, and grid interactivity strategies such as demand response and peak shaving)
• Serve as a subject matter expert on green building frameworks (LEED, Green Globes, etc.) and drive certification strategies across the portfolio

• Own strategy for measuring and reducing embodied carbon across projects, including by evaluating low-carbon and sustainable materials
• Drive adoption of whole-life carbon assessment methodologies and support teams in integrating these into project workflows
