About the Role

Crusoe is seeking a Director of Construction & Data Center Operations Finance to manage financial oversight for capital projects throughout their lifecycle, from construction to ongoing operations. This role requires financial rigor in both fast-paced construction and live operating environments, managing budgets, cost control, draw management, financeability, and financial reporting.

Responsibilities

Own construction budgets for assigned campuses/projects, partnering with Development, Construction Management, and Procurement to build and maintain accurate total installed cost (TIC) estimates.
Track budget-to-actual performance across hard costs, soft costs, and contingency; identify and escalate variances, cost overruns, and change orders.
Ensure construction spend and project milestones remain in compliance with loan agreements, equity funding agreements, and project-level financing covenants.
Partner with Treasury/Capital Markets teams to forecast funding needs and ensure capital availability for construction spend.
Support financial review of GC contracts, EPC agreements, and major vendor/equipment purchase agreements, advising on payment terms, milestone structures, and risk allocation.
Partner with Legal and Procurement on the financial terms of construction and equipment contracts.
Maintain a portfolio-level view of construction projects — cost, schedule, and funding status — for leadership, board, and lender/investor reporting.
Own the financial handoff from construction to operations at project completion, including final cost reconciliation, capitalization, and asset turnover.
Build tools and processes to scale construction finance oversight as the number of concurrent active builds grows.
Own financial oversight of data centers once energized and turned over to operations, including operating budgets, actual-vs-budget performance, and cost-per-MW/cost-per-rack benchmarking.
Partner with Data Center Operations, Facilities, and Power teams to track operating costs and identify efficiency opportunities.
Support financial reporting on operational performance metrics tied to customer contracts and lender/investor commitments.
Manage the transition of assets from construction accounting to operating asset financials, ensuring clean handoff to FP&A and Accounting.
Monitor capex needs for operating sites and incorporate into portfolio-level capital planning.
Provide input into make-vs-buy and staffing/outsourcing decisions from a cost and financing perspective.
Serve as the finance point of contact for Construction Management, Development, Data Center Operations, Project Finance, and Accounting.
Provide construction and operating cost/funding analysis to support board materials, lender reporting packages, and investor due diligence.

Requirements

8+ years of experience spanning construction finance, project controls, capital projects accounting, or project finance, ideally within data centers, energy, industrial, or large-scale infrastructure.

Working knowledge of GC/EPC contract structures, change order management, and construction risk allocation.
Experience managing operating budgets and cost performance for live facilities, ideally data centers or other mission-critical operating assets.
Understanding of how construction-phase decisions affect long-term operating costs and asset performance.
Strong financial modeling and analytical skills; comfort building and maintaining detailed cost-tracking tools.
