Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own public affairs for data center and power projects: local officials, community groups, and the public record.
  • Build support in the communities where we build: town halls, briefings, and the relationships that keep projects moving.
  • Run the response when a project draws attention, media, hearings, and opposition, with a plan instead of a scramble.
  • Partner with development, legal, and government relations so the external story matches the project reality.
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.
  • You've done public affairs or community relations for infrastructure, energy, or land development projects.
  • You've stood in front of a skeptical room and left it calmer than you found it.
  • You've built coalitions of local stakeholders that showed up when it counted.
  • You write fast and clean: talking points, letters, and testimony.
  • You track the politics of a county the way analysts track a market.
  • Bonus: Data center or utility siting. Campaign or government experience. Crisis communications. Texas or upstate New York markets.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
