Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Develop Together's global data center strategy. Define where we invest and lease data center space and who we partner with. Balance cost, risk, and speed across regions to support product and customer demand
  • Own site selection and vendor relationships: evaluate new locations, negotiate large colocation and power contracts, manage vendor performance on cost, delivery, and SLAs
  • Lead technical site diligence process: assess power, cooling, redundancy, grid, and expansion capacity. You'll partner with engineers and consultants but are expected to engage technically, not just be a “project manager”
  • Negotiate and interface with executive and senior level management
  • Drive high-impact commercial and strategic transactions by engaging with supplier and internal executive leadership
  • Support sovereign and large-scale customer deals with custom infrastructure scoping
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Infra, Finance, Product, and GTM to tie site investments to demand and product roadmap

Requirements

  • 8+ years in data center strategy, site selection, or infrastructure planning at a hyperscaler, AI infra company, or large colocation provider
  • Strong technical grasp of DC fundamentals: power architecture, cooling (including liquid), redundancy schemes, and rack density
  • Experience leading large complex multi-party negotiations, structuring colo/power contracts, and managing RFP processes
  • Knowledge of standard data center, power, and real estate contractual and legal frameworks
  • Financial fluency: TCO modeling, lease vs. own analysis, and cost drivers across power and colocation
  • Clear communicator: able to translate technical trade-offs into business decisions for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Nice to Have:
  • Familiarity with power markets, energy procurement, or behind-the-meter strategies
  • Background in hyperscale or sovereign AI projects
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation
  • Startup equity
  • Health insurance
  • Flexibility in terms of remote work
