Director, International Project Management - Spark

Role description

Role Overview

The Director, International Project Management - Spark will lead modular data center projects from powered land to 'Available to Customer' in markets with different regulatory regimes, different construction norms, and different utility interconnection standards. This is a builder's role in every sense: you're writing the playbook on how Crusoe deploys modular compute in new geographies while executing projects in parallel.

Requirements

• 10-15+ years of experience managing complex, capital-intensive infrastructure or first-of-a-kind projects (data centers, energy, advanced manufacturing) with budgets exceeding $500M
• Demonstrated experience delivering capital projects outside the United States, ideally across more than one country or regulatory regime
• Working familiarity with export controls, customs, and import/export processes for high-value technical equipment
• Schedule mastery: demonstrated expertise in scheduling software; you leverage schedules as a proactive decision-making tool
• Technical acumen: evidence of technical breadth and curiosity to manage engineering requirements, evaluate trade-offs, and surface risks across electrical, mechanical, civil, cloud, and network engineering
• Cross-cultural fluency: experience managing distributed, multicultural teams and in-country partners; comfortable being the only Crusoe person in the room
• International regulatory exposure: experience navigating construction codes, labor law, utility interconnection standards, and permitting processes in foreign countries
• Comfort with ambiguity: willing and able to build a process from scratch where no playbook yet exists, rather than execute against an established one
• Travel readiness: able to travel up to 50% of the time, including international travel, with extended trip durations when needed to support first-of-a-kind builds
• Exceptional communication: knows how to adjust communication styles accordingly, across cultures and contexts. Offers a steady hand at the wheel during periods of ambiguity or change
• Resilience: proven ability to drive projects to completion despite global supply chain headwinds, cross-border logistics friction, or technical uncertainty. A 'no surprise' mentality on timelines, schedules, and budgets, with alternatives identified so projects stay on track
