Senior Manager, Communications

Crusoe · Data AI · San Francisco, CA - US · Marketing

This role is for a Senior Manager of Communications at an AI infrastructure company. The primary focus is on managing the company's public narrative at the intersection of energy and AI, translating complex technical topics into compelling stories, and building relationships with media and influencers. The role requires a strong understanding of AI and its applications, with an emphasis on using AI tools within the communications workflow.

What you'd actually do

  1. Manage a strategic news program that demonstrates momentum and amplifies Crusoe's core narratives across each of its business units.
  2. Build and maintain direct relationships with journalists across technology, infrastructure, energy, and financial media. You must be able to pitch and place stories independently; we need a practitioner who can "hunt" and isn't solely reliant on agencies.
  3. Partner with Crusoe’s subject matter experts to sharpen messaging—translating complex topics across AI infrastructure, energy, and cloud platforms into compelling stories for a range of audiences.
  4. Work with Crusoe’s bench of spokespeople to develop and place high-impact op-eds, keynote scripts, and social media content that secures Crusoe’s position as a leader in the AI infrastructure market.
  5. Monitor the media landscape closely and coordinate timely, strategic responses to industry shifts and challenges.
