About the Role:

Crusoe is looking for a Financial Analyst, Real Estate, Land & Leases to support the financial due diligence, deal analysis, and lifecycle tracking of land and real estate transactions underpinning Crusoe’s data center campuses.

This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role suited to someone early in their finance career who wants exposure to real estate, project finance, and infrastructure deal-making, in a company where land and power access are often the binding constraint on how fast infrastructure gets built.

• Incentives & Abatements — Help compile materials for negotiating economic development incentives, tax abatements, and PILOT agreements with local and state governments.

• Lifecycle & Asset Management — Maintain financial tracking of land/real estate assets across their lifecycle, from acquisition through construction and operations; build and update a portfolio-level view of land and lease obligations (payment schedules, escalators, renewal options, purchase options) for forecasts and reporting.

• Accounting Support — Support Accounting on proper treatment of land, leases (ASC 842), and related capital costs.

• Cross-Functional Coordination — Act as a day-to-day point of contact for data requests and coordination with Real Estate, Development, Power, Legal, and Project Finance teams.

• Board & Investor Materials — Prepare financial analysis and supporting materials for board, investor, and lender due diligence related to real estate holdings and site pipeline.

• Process Scalability — Help build and maintain scalable tracking processes and tools as Crusoe’s land portfolio grows.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, Accounting, or a related field required.

• 3+ years of experience in real estate finance, project finance, investment banking, corporate development, or a related analytical role.

• Strong financial modeling and Excel skills; comfort building and maintaining models from templates or scratch.

• Familiarity with (or eagerness to learn) ground leases, purchase options, easements, and real estate/economic development incentive structures.
