Senior Talent Acquisition Program Manager II

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster. 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 growing rapidly, and the way we recruit has to keep up. Many of the practices that carried us this far, such as workflows patched together with one-off configurations, tooling choices made vendor by vendor, and process knowledge that lives with a few individuals, will not hold as hiring volume rises and we open in new countries. We are hiring a senior owner to build what comes next. You will be responsible for the product side of Talent Acquisition: advising on the road map for our recruiting tech stack (Ashby, sourcing tools, Metaview), the design of hiring workflows from requisition intake to onboarding handoff, and the programs that make our processes work globally. Right now, improvements tend to happen when someone feels enough pain to raise them. In this role, you make improvement a steady, planned part of how TA works. The right person is a program manager who designs durable systems rather than one-time fixes, is comfortable with workflow automation and AI-enabled tools, and can keep recruiters, hiring managers, and vendors on track without having them report to you. What You'll Be Working On: - Recruiting technology and vendor strategy - Advise TA leadership on the roadmap for the recruiting tech stack. Identify where automation, AI, integrations, and self-service can reduce manual work across Ashby, our sourcing tools, and Metaview. - Partner with vendors and internal partners on how AI and agentic tools can make recruiters more effective, and confirm that each technology choice is sustainable to maintain. - Create a lightweight framework for evaluating and approving new tools, since none exists today. - Workflow analysis and process redesign - Map the full candidate and hiring lifecycle, from requisition intake through offer and onboarding handoff, and surface friction and duplicated effort proactively. - Redesign processes with methods such as Lean, Six Sigma, and the 5 Whys, weighing system configuration, user experience, and policy changes against the outcome you want. - Maintain current process documentation and workflow maps so that Recruiting, People Technology, and Legal can self-serve instead of submitting requests. - Business cases, metrics, and prioritization - Write business cases that put numbers on operational impact, experience gains, and ROI, then use them to rank initiatives by impact, scalability, and strategic fit. - Work with Recruiting leadership and Analytics to define and report on core recruiting metrics, and investigate the underlying cause when a target is missed. - Support preparation of the regular metrics reviews and executive summaries TA leadership shares with the business. - Track adoption and realized ROI against
