Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure. About the Role: We are seeking a highly experienced Director of Stock Administration to lead and scale Crusoe’s equity compensation, option, and share plan operations. In this role, you will oversee stock plan governance, coordinate with legal and finance, manage relationships with third-party equity administration platforms, and serve as the strategic lead on all things equity and stock operations. You will partner closely with leadership, HR, legal, and finance to ensure compliance, accurate reporting, and program optimization as we scale. This role will be based in Denver, CO, with the ability to come into the office 5x/week. What You'll Be Working On: Own the design, implementation, and ongoing administration of Crusoe’s equity compensation programs (e.g. stock options, RSUs, ESPP, performance shares). Serve as the primary contact with equity plan service providers/administrators (e.g. Carta, Shareworks, etc.), ensuring alignment, quality, and system integrations. Oversee stock plan governance, including drafting and maintaining plan documents, amendments, board/committee approvals, and compliance with securities laws, tax, and accounting rules. Lead quarterly and annual equity and compensation reporting (409A, ASC 718, deferred compensation, tax withholding) in collaboration with accounting and finance. Build and maintain scalable, efficient processes, controls, and standard operating procedures for grant issuance, vesting, exercises, cancellations, terminations, transfers, and forfeitures. Partner with internal stakeholders (HR, Legal, Finance, Payroll) to ensure alignment and integration of equity workflows (onboarding, offboarding, payroll withholding, tax reporting). Monitor regulatory, tax, and accounting developments related to equity, and drive implementation of necessary changes to processes or policies. Serve as the subject matter expert and internal consultant for equity matters — responding to executive or board inquiries, supporting audits, and advising on compensation strategy as needed. Define and track key metrics (grant turnaround times, error rates, disclosures, participant queries) and build dashboards for leadership visibility. What You'll Bring to the Team: 10+ years of hands‑on experience managing equity plan operations, ideally at high‑growth companies. Deep technical understanding of stock plan documentation, equity instruments (options, RSUs, performance shares), and all stages of the equity lifecycle. Strong familiarity with U.S. securities law, tax withholding, ASC 718 / IFRS equity accounting, 409A valuation, and global equity complexities. Track record working with third‑party equity platform providers (e.g. Carta, Shareworks, E*Shares, etc.). Experience integrating equity operations with HRIS, payroll, ERP, and other internal systems. Strong process orientation and ability to build scalable, documented, high‑quality workflows and controls. Exceptional cross‑functional collaboration skills — able to communicate with finance, legal, HR, and executive teams. Leadership experience: ability to manage, mentor, and scale a team. Highly detail oriented and analytical: able to catch discrepancies, foresee risks, and continuously improve systems. Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex equity concepts to non‑technical partners, and confident interacting with senior leadership and board. Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Law, or related field (or equivalent experience). Advanced degree or relevant certification (e.g. CPA, CFA) a plus.
