Workforce Planning Manager

Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.

Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.

About the Role:

Crusoe is on a mission to align computing growth with clean energy. As we expand our cloud, digital infrastructure, and manufacturing operations, scaling our teams thoughtfully is critical. We’re looking for a Workforce Planning Manager to build and own the way we plan, track, and forecast headcount. This role connects Finance, Recruiting, People Ops, and business leaders so we can anticipate talent needs, align with budgets, and deliver against operational commitments. You’ll combine hands-on ownership of our headcount planning system with strategic partnership to executives, helping Crusoe grow responsibly while keeping pace with demand.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Own and administer Crusoe’s headcount planning software, ensuring accuracy, usability, and adoption across leaders

• Manage headcount data end-to-end: reconciling plans, updating roles, maintaining data quality, and driving reliable reporting

• Partner with Finance to translate company strategy into headcount budgets that are realistic and aligned to business goals

• Work with Recruiting to balance hiring demand with recruiter capacity, funnel health, and time-to-fill expectations

• Build clear dashboards and reporting that bring together data from Finance, Recruiting, People Ops, and Workplace into one source of truth

• Translate headcount data into insights that help leaders understand trade-offs, sequencing, and timing

• Model growth scenarios to account for hiring pace, attrition, budget shifts, and workspace needs

• Partner closely with Crusoe’s manufacturing and digital infrastructure teams to design workforce plans that support contract delivery and operational milestones

• Support executives and business leaders through quarterly and annual planning cycles, surfacing risks and recommendations

• Establish consistent definitions, standards, and governance for headcount across the company

• Anticipate downstream impacts of hiring decisions (budget, capacity, real estate, onboarding) and proactively flag them for leadership

• Drive cross-functional alignment, acting as the connector across Finance, Recruiting, People Ops, and Operations

• Identify and implement process improvements that make workforce planning more efficient, scalable, and transparent

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• 7+ years in workforce planning, headcount analytics, FP&A, or a related role, ideally in a fast-scaling company

• Experience administering or deeply managing headcount planning tools, with the ability to troubleshoot, configure, and improve them

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working across HRIS, ATS, and financial planning systems

• Ability to zoom in on details while also zooming out to advise executives and influence strategy

• Proven success building new processes and capabilities from scratch

• A communicator who can simplify complex data for leaders and drive alignment across functions

• Someone energized by the chance to shape a new function and grow it as Crusoe expands
