Senior Workforce Governance Program Manager

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.

We're looking for an experienced workforce governance and employment compliance practitioner to own workforce governance, employment compliance, and regulatory risk programs across the People organization. This is a hands-on, high-ownership individual contributor role within the People team. You'll partner closely with Legal and People functions including People Operations, Compensation, Benefits, Payroll, Recruiting, Global Mobility and People Analytics, providing governance, compliance, and control oversight across these areas rather than directly owning the underlying programs.

You will design and operate the frameworks, standards, and controls that ensure the company meets its workforce-related legal, regulatory, contractual, and policy obligations.

If you've built and operated workforce governance, employment compliance, HR compliance, or regulatory programs and understand the difference between owning a program and supporting one, we'd love to talk with you.
