Senior Finance Manager (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
• Headcount Planning & Tracking: own the headcount plan and forecast across the company, partnering with People and department leaders to track open reqs, hiring pace, and attrition against plan
• OpEx Budgeting/forecasting: lead the annual budgeting and in-year OpEx forecasting process across departments, working with budget owners to build defensible, well-documented plans
• Actuals Reporting & Variance Analysis: own monthly and quarterly actuals reporting for headcount and OpEx, identifying variances to plan and partnering with budget owners on root cause and corrective action
• Forecast Management: maintain rolling headcount and OpEx forecasts, updating for approved changes, hiring plan shifts, and in-year business decisions
• Business Partnering: serve as the go-to finance contact for department leaders on headcount and OpEx questions, helping them understand their budgets and make informed trade-offs. Partner with HR on new or changing benefit ideas to improve employee’s experience. Additionally, partner with Marketing and other leaders on OPEX budgets / plans and associated ROI
• Process & Systems Improvement: improve the tools and processes used to plan, track, and report on headcount and OpEx, reducing manual reconciliation and increasing self-serve visibility for stakeholders
• Executive & Board Reporting: prepare clear, accurate headcount and OpEx reporting packages for executive leadership and the board
