Summary

Associate supporting data center construction through analytics, dashboards, project tracking, deal support, and cross-functional operations at a fast-scaling AI infrastructure company.

About the role

What you’ll do

  • Data & dashboard ownership – build, maintain, and continuously improve cost, schedule, risk, and quality dashboards so every stakeholder has real-time visibility.
  • Deal support – assist on due diligence and documentation. Prepare data rooms, exhibits, and external deal materials that help transactions get across the finish line.
  • Swiss army knife – jump into special projects, fill gaps, and do whatever it takes to keep the team moving at Crusoe‑speed.
  • Meeting & Daily Operations support – prep agendas, take crisp notes, track action items, and follow up relentlessly so no decision or commitment falls through the cracks.
  • Project tracking – support schedule and milestone tracking across active campus builds. Flag slippage early, surface the critical path, and keep the team one step ahead.
  • Materials creation – draft presentations, one-pagers, and memos for internal reviews, executive updates, and external stakeholders. Make complex information look effortless.
  • Process & playbook support – help document standard operating procedures, RACI matrices, and lessons learned so every new campus launch starts smarter than the last.

  • A low-ego, high-ownership mindset—you do what it takes and want the team to succeed
  • Strong interest in AI infrastructure, power markets, and large-scale data center development
