• Strong grounding in sustainable food service practices and how to translate them into vendor standards.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — this role partners closely with senior leadership, regional Workplace teams, and vendors alike.

• Willingness to travel ~25–30% of the time to Crusoe offices, data centers, and manufacturing sites.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
