Shape the Commercial Strategy Behind One of America's Most Ambitious Digital Infrastructure Developments

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced commercial and contracts leader to join a rapidly growing developer delivering one of the most significant digital infrastructure projects currently underway in the United States.

Backed by substantial investment and entering a critical phase of delivery, the business is developing a flagship hyperscale data center campus alongside dedicated power generation infrastructure. This is the first of several planned developments, providing the successful candidate with the opportunity to help build the commercial function while influencing projects that will shape the company's long-term growth.

This is far more than a traditional contracts role. You'll become the commercial lead for a diverse portfolio of high-value agreements spanning EPC contractors, power generation, utilities, natural gas supply, customers, land development and critical infrastructure. You'll work directly with executive leadership, helping establish the commercial framework that will support multiple billion-dollar developments for years to come.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building processes from the ground up, thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to play a key role within a company experiencing rapid expansion.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead commercial negotiations across a diverse portfolio of complex agreements.
• Negotiate and manage major EPC, engineering, construction, equipment supply and professional services contracts.
• Support commercial agreements involving hyperscale customers, power generation, utilities, natural gas supply, interconnection and critical infrastructure.
• Develop commercial strategies that balance project delivery, schedule, cost and contractual risk.
• Provide executive leadership with commercial recommendations, negotiation strategies and risk assessments.
• Establish contract management systems, governance procedures and commercial controls.
• Develop contract registers, reporting tools, obligation trackers and commercial dashboards.
• Build templates, playbooks and commercial standards that improve consistency and efficiency.
• Partner closely with legal while maintaining ownership of commercial outcomes.
• Support multiple high-value projects simultaneously within a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Construction Management, Finance, Law or a related discipline.

Who You Are

You'll be a commercially minded leader who combines strategic thinking with a willingness to stay close to the detail. You're comfortable operating in environments where priorities move quickly, processes are still evolving and your input has a direct impact on business success.

You'll enjoy building structure, solving complex commercial challenges and working alongside senior leadership to support major infrastructure developments from inception through delivery.

Why Join?

• Play a key leadership role on one of the largest new digital infrastructure developments in the United States.
• Influence commercial strategy across multi-billion-dollar capital projects.
