Senior Manager, Finance - Corporate

Crusoe's Finance team is looking for a Senior Manager to own headcount and operating expense (OpEx) finance across the company. This role is the single source of truth for how many people we have, how many we're planning to hire, and what we're spending outside of capital projects, and it's responsible for the planning, budgeting, forecasting, and actuals reporting that keeps leadership and the business aligned on both. You'll partner with People, Recruiting, and department leaders on headcount planning, own the OpEx budget process end-to-end, and make sure monthly actuals tell an accurate, timely story against plan. This is a highly visible role for someone who wants to bring structure and rigor to how a scaling company manages its people and operating costs.
