About the Role

The Manager, Colocation Leasing supports the Director of Colocation Leasing in securing leased data center capacity across the United States.

Manage the approval and execution workflow through signature and handoff to Operations.

Track key dates, obligations, and milestones across executed leases.

Help build templates, checklists, and playbooks that turn the deal process into a repeatable workflow.

Comfortable working across Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and deal-tracking or CRM tools.

Able to travel up to 15% based on business needs.

Nice to Have

Working knowledge of colocation or lease commercial terms and contract structures.

Experience working with colocation providers, brokers, or hyperscale data center tenants.

Why this role matters

Leased capacity is one of the fastest ways Nscale can bring GPU infrastructure online for our customers, and every megawatt we secure starts with a well-run deal. You'll be the engine behind that process, making sure opportunities are screened rigorously, terms are tracked precisely, and approvals move without delay. Success means a pipeline that’s always current, deals that close faster with fewer surprises, and a repeatable leasing playbook that scales as our US footprint grows.
