• Architect and execute a multi-region acquisition strategy, sourcing off-market land and power-heavy infrastructure sites tailored to hyper-scale AI workloads.
• Lead end-to-end execution of complex transactions including negotiation of purchase and sale agreements (PSAs), long-term ground leases, and joint venture (JV) agreements.
• Serve as the primary liaison to institutional investors, lenders, and capital partners to structure project financing and optimize the company’s cost of capital.
• Own the underwriting process and present investment memos to executive leadership and the Board, defending financial assumptions and articulating risk-adjusted returns.
• Overhaul and manage a rigorous due diligence process integrating real estate risk with power availability, regulatory hurdles, and tax incentive structures.
• Build and maintain high-level relationships with brokers, landowners, utility executives, and institutional peers to position Crusoe as the partner of choice in digital infrastructure.
• Mentor and grow a high-performing acquisitions team, establishing scalable processes and standards for a world-class investment department.
• Bridge the gap between institutional real estate investment and mission-critical high-performance compute infrastructure with an energy-first approach.
• Identify non-obvious acquisition opportunities in supply-constrained markets where energy cost and compute density are primary value drivers.
• Navigate the unique nuances of energy-integrated infrastructure, including power plants, substations, and grid-scale renewable assets.
• Communicate complex financial and technical data clearly to C-suite executives to inform strategic decision-making.
• Ensure all acquisitions align with Crusoe’s vertically integrated AI infrastructure model, from electrons to tokens.
• Maintain strict compliance with all legal and regulatory frameworks governing real estate, energy, and infrastructure investments.
• Drive transaction velocity in a high-growth environment where speed-to-market is a primary KPI.
• Manage capital deployment at scale, with a proven track record of closing individual transactions exceeding $500M.
• Represent Crusoe in negotiations with municipal authorities and regulatory bodies to secure favorable zoning, permitting, and incentive structures.
• Continuously evaluate emerging markets for AI infrastructure expansion based on energy availability, grid stability, and regulatory landscape.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and finance teams to align acquisition targets with technical and operational requirements.
• Maintain up-to-date market intelligence on global trends in AI compute demand, energy pricing, and infrastructure supply constraints.
• Ensure all acquisition activities support Crusoe’s mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence.

🎯 Requirements
