About this role

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:

We're hiring a Staff Technical Project Manager to own delivery of Crusoe's Global Physical Security (GPS) portfolio. Your deliverable is the outcome, not the schedule: every site moved onto our new platforms, a working GSOC, and site findings closed.


You'll run several related workstreams at once across Construction, Facilities, IT, site operations, integrators and vendors. None of them report to you. You'll turn loose commitments into dated, owned, checkable deliverables, hold people to them, and force decisions when work stalls.

This is a program role, not a project role. You'll be the person who sees a slip coming weeks out and raises it with options, rather than reporting the miss after it lands.

Level: Staff.
Reports to: Lead, IT & Security Program Management Office.
Location: San Francisco, CA; Denver, CO; or Dallas, TX.

What You'll Be Working on:

  • System Lifecycle & Deployment: Manage end-to-end delivery of physical security assets - including access control, video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and Security Operations Centers (SOC) - from design and installation to testing and commissioning.

  • Standards & Governance: Own and adapt global physical security standards, master specifications (e.g., Division 28), and reference design templates across regions.

  • Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with IT, network engineering, legal, privacy, and facilities teams to integrate physical security systems with enterprise networks and digital tracking tools (CAD/BIM validation, dashboards).

  • Vendor & Contractor Management: Direct external security system integrators, author technical scopes of work, evaluate RFPs, manage bids, and oversee site quality assurance (QA/QC).

  • Risk & Change Management: Conduct site risk assessments, handle design-exception governance, and manage brownfield/retrofit upgrades with zero or minimal operational downtime.

You'll own six workstreams that together make up the GPS program.

  1. Access control and video platform migration. Move every site off the legacy Meraki estate onto our selected cloud-based access control and video platforms, and onboard new sites as they come online. Waves run Q2 through Q4.

  • Wave planning and site sequencing

  • Per-site readiness criteria and tracking

  • Cutover runbooks and rollback plans

  • Acceptance testing and sign-off

  1. GSOC buildout. Bring our Global Security Operations Center to go-live. Coordinate facility readiness, technology cutover, staff onboarding and the go-live checklist across Construction, IT and our staffing vendor.

  2. Site remediation. Our security assessments produce a findings register, and most fixes belong to Facilities, Construction or site ops. You'll get each finding an owner and a date, drive it to close, and keep the register visible to leadership.

  3. Integrator delivery. Manage multiple integrators across geographies.

  • Scope-of-work templates

  • Submittal review cycles

  • Acceptance testing and defect closeout

  • Integrator performance scorecards

  1. Vendor and procurement lifecycle. Run RFPs, contract timelines and onboarding for staffing, platform and monitoring vendors. Several of these land this quarter and next.

  2. Intake and triage. Stand up a front door for new GPS requests so each one is scoped, prioritized and sequenced against the roadmap instead of quietly absorbed.

How You'll Work:

  • Make commitments real. Turn "we'll get to it" into a named owner, a date and a clear definition of done.

  • Hold the line on dates. Hold peers, vendors and people senior to you to what they committed, directly and respectfully.

  • Lead without authority. Drive work across orgs you don't control, and escalate only when escalation is the right tool.

  • Call slippage early. Read leading indicators such as late submittals, long-lead equipment and unstaffed shifts. Raise risk while there's still time to act.

  • Force decisions. Know the difference between work that needs chasing and work that needs someone to decide. Get the decision framed, put it in front of the right person, and get it made.

  • Set the standard. Define how GPS runs programs, including planning templates, readiness criteria, status cadence and scorecards that other teams adopt.

  • Exercise discretion. You'll handle site layouts, vulnerabilities and incident details. You know what to share, with whom and when.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

  • 10+ years in technical program or project management, including at least 5 years owning a multi-workstream program end to end

  • Delivery experience in the built environment, including construction schedules, integrators, submittals, commissioning and turnover

  • A track record of multi-site rollouts across a geographically distributed portfolio

  • Enough technical fluency in access control, video surveillance, networking and low-voltage systems to challenge an integrator's plan and spot when you're being talked in circles

  • Experience running vendor work end to end: RFPs, SOWs, contract milestones, acceptance and performance management

  • Comfort holding senior stakeholders and vendors accountable, and forcing decisions without leaning on escalation

  • Clear, concise written status reporting that leads with risk and the ask

  • Sound judgment and discretion with sensitive security information

  • Experience standing up a GSOC, SOC or other 24/7 operations center

  • Background in data center, critical facilities or mission-critical construction

  • Experience managing contract security staffing or remote monitoring vendors

  • PMP, PgMP, PSP or CPP certification

  • Familiarity with security frameworks and audits that touch physical controls, such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Bonus Points

  • Hands-on experience with cloud-managed access control and VMS platforms, or with migrating from one to another

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation and equity packages

  • Restricted Stock Units

  • Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs

  • Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance

  • Employer contributions to HSA account

  • Paid parental leave

  • Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability

  • Professional development & tuition reimbursement

  • Mental health & wellness support

  • Commuter benefits (parking & transit)

  • Cell phone stipend

  • 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary

  • Volunteer time off

  • Global travel insurance & emergency assistance

  • Daily meals allowance

  • Additional perks & programs specific to location

Compensation Range

Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $230,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicant's knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
