Job description

What You'll Do:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with data center operators, developers, brokers and other infrastructure partners.
• Proactively identify available and upcoming data center capacity across our target
  markets.
• Develop early intelligence on new developments, expansions, power availability,
  capacity releases and other market opportunities.
• Maintain a structured pipeline of current and future capacity, including MW availability, RFS dates, density, cooling capabilities, connectivity and expansion potential.
• Identify off-market and early-stage opportunities before they become broadly marketed.
• Perform initial qualification of potential sites and capacity opportunities.
• Work with Engineering and Network teams to determine whether opportunities can support our cloud and high-density AI infrastructure.
• Work with Capacity Planning to translate future demand into a forward-looking capacity pipeline.
• Engage providers early to understand capacity, timelines and indicative commercial conditions.
• Work closely with the wider Procurement team to convert qualified opportunities into competitive sourcing and negotiation strategies.
• Support commercial negotiations with market intelligence, alternative capacity options and established provider relationships.
• Where appropriate, explore capacity reservations, expansion rights, powered shells, build-to-suit developments and other strategic infrastructure opportunities.
• Contribute to the continuous development of Gcore's data center sourcing and supplier strategy.

What We're Looking For:

• Strong experience in the data center, cloud infrastructure or digital infrastructure industry.
• An established network within the data center ecosystem, particularly among operators, developers, brokers or infrastructure partners.
• Experience identifying, sourcing, developing or selling data center capacity.
• Good understanding of wholesale and hyperscale colocation markets.
• Working knowledge of critical power, rack density, cooling, redundancy, PUE, connectivity and infrastructure delivery timelines.
• Understanding of high-density cloud and GPU infrastructure requirements.
• Strong commercial judgement and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to independently develop opportunities across multiple markets and stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively across Procurement, technical and business functions and
  translate market opportunities into actionable sourcing opportunities.

Experience within a neocloud, hyperscaler, data center operator, developer or specialist data center advisory/brokerage business would be particularly relevant.

What success looks like

When a new infrastructure requirement arises, we should already know where suitable capacity is available, who controls it, when it can be delivered and what it will take to secure it.

You will help us move from reactive capacity sourcing towards a continuous global pipeline of infrastructure opportunities - giving Gcore earlier access to capacity, greater optionality and a stronger position when we enter commercial negotiations.
