Site Sourcing Lead

Remote, Nationwide

Our client is an emerging infrastructure company building the physical foundation needed to support the next generation of high-performance computing and AI. With significant growth plans and a leadership team experienced in scaling technology and infrastructure businesses, the company is assembling a nationwide portfolio of sites where power availability, land strategy, and speed to development create a competitive advantage. The Site Sourcing Lead will play a pivotal role in that expansion, identifying opportunities and converting them into viable, construction-ready projects across multiple U.S. markets.

This Role Offers:

• Competitive cash compensation with meaningful equity participation.
• Opportunity to shape site and power strategy during an important stage of company expansion.
• Broad ownership spanning origination, commercial negotiations, diligence, power strategy, and development readiness.
• Exposure to complex, high-value infrastructure transactions across multiple U.S. power markets.

Focus:

• Build a nationwide pipeline of development opportunities by identifying viable land, available power, existing industrial properties, and other infrastructure assets suitable for large-scale computing facilities.
• Evaluate potential projects from initial opportunity through investment readiness, assessing electrical capacity, utility constraints, property considerations, environmental conditions, zoning, permitting, and construction feasibility.
• Develop power strategies that consider both utility interconnection and behind-the-meter generation, selecting the approach that best supports project economics, schedule, reliability, and scalability.
• Lead commercial discussions with utilities, property owners, brokers, developers, energy providers, and other counterparties required to establish site and power control.
• Negotiate land purchases, options, leases, energy arrangements, and related commercial agreements that position projects for successful development.
• Navigate utility processes and local approvals while coordinating with municipalities, authorities having jurisdiction, and other stakeholders to remove development barriers.
• Use established supplier relationships to support the sourcing of generation systems and critical electrical infrastructure, particularly equipment with significant procurement lead times.
• Coordinate external development, civil, energy, and equipment partners while maintaining accountability for schedule, diligence, and commercial objectives.
• Partner with engineering and construction leadership to validate technical feasibility before major site commitments are made.
• Advance multiple projects concurrently and establish repeatable development practices that support a scalable, multi-site infrastructure program.

Skill Set:

• 5+ years of experience sourcing and developing data center sites or similarly power-intensive industrial infrastructure, including projects progressed from raw or powered land to construction-ready status.
• Demonstrated expertise with both behind-the-meter generation and utility grid interconnection, including successful site development using each power pathway.
• Established relationships across U.S. power markets, utilities, landowners, brokers, developers, and other infrastructure stakeholders that can immediately support new opportunity generation.
• Direct procurement relationships with power-generation OEMs and suppliers of utility-side electrical equipment.
• Proven success structuring, diligencing, negotiating, and closing complex power and real estate transactions across multi-site development programs.
• Strong understanding of site control, power availability, utility processes, permitting, zoning, environmental diligence, and infrastructure development risk.
• Commercial judgment and negotiation skills appropriate for high-value land, energy, and infrastructure transactions.
• Ability to independently drive opportunities forward while collaborating closely with engineering, construction, and executive stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel nationally as required for site diligence, negotiations, partner engagement, and project advancement.
