About the Role:As the Senior 3PL Strategy & Relationship Manager for Crusoe's Cloud and Digital Infrastructure organization, you will shift our logistics footprint from a reactive operational model to a proactive, centralized strategy. Crusoe is scaling rapidly, which requires ordering long-lead datacenter infrastructure in advance and storing it strategically across a complex geographic footprint.
You will be the architect of our third-party logistics (3PL) network, ensuring that we maximize inventory availability across our fleet while strictly navigating the distinct sales tax and corporate structures inherent to how our projects are funded. This is a highly strategic role requiring a unique mix of inventory optimization, vendor negotiation, and cross-functional tax compliance coordination.
This role will be full-time and fully on-site at our San Francisco or Bellevue locations.Key Responsibilities:- Strategic 3PL Network Architecture: Design, implement, and manage Crusoe's regionalized and centralized 3PL warehousing network to buffer supply chain shortages and optimize lead times for data center deployments.
- Tax & Regulatory Compliance Integration: Partner closely with internal Finance and Tax teams to ensure all warehousing strategies account for separate project-funding models and localized sales/use tax implications. Build tracking frameworks to eliminate tax exposure when storing assets across different jurisdictions.
- Inventory Centralization & Fungibility Strategy: Establish frameworks to identify "fungible" vs. site-specific inventory. Create a dynamic redeployment strategy to safely relocate high-demand components when critical operational sites face shortages.
- Strategic Supplier Management: Move beyond transactional 3PL relationships. Establish robust SLAs, QBRs, and performance dashboards to ensure our logistics partners scale seamlessly at Crusoe's speed.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the strategic link between Product, Supply Chain Planning, Engineering, and Finance to translate future infrastructure roadmaps into tangible warehousing footprint requirements.
Qualifications & Requirements:- Experience: 5+ years of experience in strategic logistics, supply chain management, or 3PL relationship management, ideally within capital-intensive tech infrastructure (Data Centers, Cloud, Telecom, or Energy).
- Tax/Financial Acumen: Strong foundational understanding of how logistics networks impact corporate accounting, specifically regarding project-based funding, inventory asset holding costs, and sales/use tax implications.
- Strategic Thinking: Proven track record of transforming a decentralized, reactive operational warehouse footprint into a centralized, data-driven inventory hub.
- Insourcing/Scale Experience: Experience taking high-cost, third-party boutique logistics or customs processes and successfully building those capabilities in-house.
- Inventory Expertise: Deep understanding of material planning, managing lead times, and executing fungible inventory strategies in high-shortage environments.
- Systems Comfort: Familiarity with modern ERPs, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and data visualization tools to build internal logistics dashboards.
