Staff Program Manager, Operations
About the role
Crusoe's Cloud Engineering organization is 380 people today and hiring toward 550. The operating machinery that got us here — headcount tracked in spreadsheets, all-hands assembled by hand, action items chased one direct message at a time — does not survive the next 170 people. This role exists to own that machinery and replace it with systems. You will own the people and operations layer of Cloud Engineering end to end: headcount and requisition coordination in partnership with our Recruiting team, all-hands and org events with our EA team, intern and early-career programs, manager enablement adoption, and the operating rhythms that keep a 380-person organization legible to its leaders. Today most of the initial intake sits with the Chief of Staff. Tomorrow it sits with you, and it runs whether or not leadership is paying attention to it. The ideal candidate is a program manager who thinks in operating systems rather than checklists, is fluent in spreadsheets and workflow automation, and is comfortable holding senior engineering leaders to a deadline without formal authority over them.
Responsibilities
- Own the headcount plan of record for Cloud Engineering in partnership with the Recruiting team: reconcile requisitions and position IDs across TeamOhana, Workday, and Finance's forecast into one source of truth that leaders trust and drive adoption of new processes the Talent Acquisition team puts in place.
- Run intake and prioritization for new and backfill requisitions: collect and sequence each leader's critical roles, keep pipeline status current, and flag where teams are net-short before anyone has to ask.
- Partner with Recruiting and
