Collaborate with internal cross-functional partners—including legal, finance, engineering, and power procurement—as well as external utilities, brokers, landowners, and government authorities to execute transactions and validate site viability.
Ensure compliance with company investment frameworks, governance standards, statutory approvals, land-use zoning, and environmental risk requirements throughout the site selection process.

15+ years of experience in site acquisition, commercial real estate, or large-scale infrastructure development, with a strong background in data center or hyperscale projects.
Strong knowledge of data center site selection, power and utility infrastructure assessment, land due diligence, and commercial transaction management.
Proven ability in high-stakes negotiations, risk mitigation, financial evaluation, and navigating complex government and local stakeholder relationships.
