About the Role

This role operates as an individual contributor to maintain consistency in partnership sourcing and assessment, assembling virtual cross‑functional teams as needed.

Represent Crusoe as a Product Management executive speaker at partner, industry, and customer events, supporting Crusoe’s external technology and product leadership
Partner across all customer‑influencing functions to support onboarding, integration, delivery, and ongoing iteration of partnership‑driven products and services
What You’ll Bring

Technical understanding of cloud infrastructure, including public/private cloud, virtualization, and containerization, with familiarity across AWS, Azure, GCP, and emerging neoclouds
Experience with AI managed services, including GenAI and ideally predictive AI, spanning inference, tuning, RAG, agent development, observability, and evaluation practices

Product management experience delivering technical products or features for AI‑native and enterprise customers; engineering background helpful
