📋 Description

• 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.
• About the Role: Crusoe is seeking a strategic and operationally minded Manager, Travel Programs to own and elevate our global travel program.

• What You'll Be Working On:
• Platform & Operations Management: Own the Navan platform end-to-end — configuration, policy settings, and ongoing optimization.
• Vendor & Contract Management: Manage the Navan vendor relationship as the primary day-to-day owner.
• Program Health & Reporting: Lead monthly program reviews with Navan and report spend trends, policy compliance, and NPS findings to Finance and leadership.
• Process Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements as the company scales.
• Employee Experience & Training: Manage Navan training enablement and administration — oversee WorkRamp training completion for all employees and new hires, maintain up-to-date training resources, and ensure the organization is equipped to confidently book and manage travel.
• Documentation & Communications: Maintain Confluence travel documentation, FAQs, and program communications.
• What You'll Bring to the Team:
• 8+ years of experience in corporate travel program management, ideally within a high-growth technology company.
• Hands-on experience managing Navan or a comparable corporate travel platform (e.g., Concur, TripActions, Egencia).
• Strong vendor management skills, comfortable owning external relationships and escalating when needed.
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Finance, IT, People, and Procurement.
• Data-driven mindset, comfortable pulling, analyzing, and presenting spend and compliance data to leadership.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities, work autonomously, and drive programs forward in a fast-paced environment.
• Clear, concise communicator, able to translate program complexity into accessible guidance for employees and stakeholders.
• Experience owning or supporting a policy exception and accommodation review process is a plus.
