Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own commercial relationships with utilities, energy suppliers, and market operators across every active US data center market, from initial engagement through long-term agreement execution.
  • Shape energy supply outcomes by actively participating in regulatory and rate-making processes, engaging ISOs, policymakers, and utilities before constraints land on the build pipeline.
  • Negotiate retail power agreements, PPAs, and behind-the-meter offtake deals with commercial counterparties, structuring terms that create fungible capacity options and running scenario analyses to extend the shelf life of existing options or accelerate delivery of new ones.
  • Partner with the site acquisition team to assess energy requirements for prospective locations before lease commitments, and with legal to structure and refine commercial arrangements for existing facilities.
  • Quarterback across design, construction, finance, sustainability, and on-site operations on all energy workstreams, and distil technical, market, and regulatory developments into clear decisions for leadership.


What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, [tell us where you would]([general application link]).
  • You've managed large-load interconnection processes from application to executed agreement at a utility, developer, or industrial operator, and you know what can go wrong at each step.
  • You've read and modeled from utility tariff filings, rate schedules, and service agreements well enough to build power cost estimates that hold up through project finance and final deal terms.
  • You've maintained working-level relationships with utility project managers and engineers across multiple active projects simultaneously, and you know how to keep a queue item from going dormant.
  • You catch schedule risks and cost exposure before they surface to leadership, and you document project status with enough precision that someone else could pick up a file mid-process without losing context.
  • You quarterback across development, legal, engineering, and finance on site-specific energy questions, and you're the person who knows exactly where each site stands in the interconnection process at any given moment.
  • Bonus: Direct experience across multiple ISO/RTO markets (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, WECC). Background at a utility, ISO, or energy developer. Familiarity with substation design, service entrance requirements, or transmission cost allocation studies. International utility experience in UK or EU markets.


Salary & Benefits
  • Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

The base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $350,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
