Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.
Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.
About the Role:
Crusoe is at the forefront of expanding hyperscale AI data center infrastructure and is actively doing so in Abilene, Texas and beyond. We have an opportunity for a high-caliber commercial leader to secure the massive power capacities required to drive the next generation of computing.
You will serve as the lead negotiator for our most critical energy assets, driving the commercial terms for utility-scale thermal agreements that power Crusoe’s multi-hundred MW hyperscale footprint. You will bridge the gap between complex energy markets and our infrastructure operations, ensuring Crusoe secures reliable, cost-effective, and scalable power at the intersection of finance, law, and engineering.
What You'll Be Working On:
PPA Execution: Lead the end-to-end negotiation of complex, multi-hundred MW thermal Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and utilities.
Commercial Structuring: Design and execute sophisticated commercial frameworks, including physical and financial hedges, tolling agreements, and "behind-the-meter" configurations.
Market Analysis: Evaluate energy market dynamics, nodal pricing, and regulatory shifts (particularly within ERCOT) to optimize procurement timing and pricing.
Risk Management: Define and negotiate key risk levers including curtailment rights, performance guarantees, credit support, and fuel-price indexing.
Strategic Partnerships: Build and maintain high-level relationships with power generators and transmission providers to maintain a robust pipeline of energy opportunities.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Digital Infrastructure Group, Power Infrastructure Group, Finance, and Legal teams to ensure commercial terms align with project financing and operational constraints.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
Negotiation Track Record: 8+ years of experience in energy procurement or power marketing, with a proven history of closing utility-scale PPAs.
Thermal Asset Depth: Deep understanding of thermal power generation (natural gas), including heat rates, fuel supply logistics, and dispatch economics.
Financial Acumen: Strong ability to model complex energy contracts and understand the impact of PPA terms on project IRRs and corporate EBITDA.
Market Knowledge: Familiarity with ISO/RTO market rules and the evolving regulatory landscape for large-load energy consumers.
Executive Presence: Ability to navigate high-pressure negotiations and present complex commercial trade-offs to senior leadership.
