Chief of Staff Business Operations

Crux AI is a newly formed, U.S.

-based integrated AI infrastructure company created to remove the physical and operational constraints on consequential AI ambitions. Crux brings together power, high-density data centers, TPU silicon, networking, orchestration software, and ongoing operations as one integrated system.

Crux is being capitalized to plan every layer together, develop each one to demanding standards, and operate the whole system with efficiency and reliability. That gives hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, sovereign customers, enterprises, and AI-native companies greater freedom to pursue the AI they are here to create.

You will build and run the operating system of the company as Crux scales from a founding team to 300+ people, and you serve as the executive team's leverage across special projects.

On the business operations side, you will design the company's operating cadence — planning cycle, OKRs, and business reviews and reporting — and run cross-functional program management for the Stage 1 build, surfacing dependencies and risks.

You own the health of the organization against its targets: consolidating OKRs across the company, cascading company-level objectives down to teams and individuals. You define what Crux's corporate systems and vendor ecosystem need to do — collecting requirements cross-functionally, standing up outsourced functions where speed demands it, and working with Business Systems on the build, adoption, and scaling of internal AI-native systems as the company grows and migrates off third-party vendors.

You own Crux's geographic strategy: where the next gigawatts should go, weighing power availability and price, interconnection, tax, customer proximity, and sovereign demand over a multi-year horizon, as the input the capacity plan and site pipeline build against.

Prepare and follow through on the business priorities, executive, board, and investor materials, and the Google and Blackstone relationship agendas. You will take on the unowned problems that appear in a company being built from scratch. You are building for the end state: the operating model has to be designed for the company Crux will be at scale — institutional quality without bureaucracy, AI-enabled tooling and automation.

You'll partner with every function and with the executive team in this role.

• You will have stood up the operating cadence — weekly, monthly, and quarterly meeting and reporting rhythm with owners, inputs, and decision rights defined — and an AI-powered workstream tracker that gives the executive team a single view of priorities, decisions, and owners

• You will have delivered a company-wide OKR framework for Stage 1, aligned with the executive team, and established reporting to run it

• You will have mapped Crux's corporate systems and vendor ecosystem — what is outsourced, what is internal, what is missing — and deliver prioritized requirements and a migration roadmap to internal AI-native systems, in partnership with Business Systems

• You will have run the Stage 1 cross-functional program — milestones, dependencies, and risks across the organization — with issues surfaced before they become slips

• You will have company-level OKRs cascaded to every team and individual, harmonized across functions, with an AI-enabled tracking cadence that shows the executive team where the organization is on and off track against Stage 1 targets

• You will have tightened Crux's core business processes — planning, approvals, reporting, procurement of corporate services — to institutional quality so the company can scale without bureaucracy

• You own the production of company-wide board reporting
