ABOUT THIS ROLE

Crusoe is scaling one of the fastest-growing global workplace and data center portfolios in the industry, with active real estate initiatives spanning San Francisco, Denver, London, Tel Aviv, Bellevue, and beyond, alongside a rapidly expanding global data center footprint. We're looking for a Senior Director, Real Estate & Portfolio Strategy to lead the strategy, execution, and financial management of our global co-location, manufacturing office and data center lease portfolio.

Reporting directly to the VP, DIG Operations, this role will be a critical partner in aligning our real estate strategy with business growth, headcount planning, employee experience, and long-term financial objectives across both corporate office, co-location, manufacturing and data center real estate. You'll work closely with our exclusive global brokerage partner, Legal, Finance, People, Data Center Operations, and business leaders to deliver thoughtful, data-driven real estate solutions that support Crusoe's continued expansion.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior real estate leader who thrives on managing multiple concurrent transactions across office, manufacturing and data center/colocation portfolios, enjoys the financial and analytical side of commercial real estate, and wants to build scalable portfolio strategies, lease governance, and audit processes for a rapidly growing global company.

• Critical Date Management: own the tracking and management of all critical lease dates across the portfolio — including notice periods, renewal and termination options, rent escalations, expansion/contraction windows, and compliance deadlines — ensuring proactive action ahead of key milestones.

• Financial Analysis & Reporting: build and maintain cash flow models, occupancy cost analyses, rent schedules, lease comparisons, escalations, and CAM reconciliations to support executive decision-making across office, manufacturing and data center portfolios.

• Executive Reporting: prepare business cases, portfolio updates, and executive presentations that translate complex lease and financial data into clear, actionable recommendations for executive leadership.

• Stakeholder Coordination: serve as the primary point of contact between Workplace, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Data Center Operations, and site leadership on all lease-related matters, including purchase order and approval workflows in Coupa.

• Broker & Transaction Management: serve as the relationship manager for Crusoe's global brokerage partner, leading lease negotiations, coordinating transaction strategy, and driving favorable business and financial outcomes across the portfolio.
