> Source, diligence, negotiate, and secure powered land and brownfield sites delivering hundreds of MW to GWs of capacity for AI data centers. Requires hands-on experience closing power-constrained land deals, reading interconnection queues, running full diligence, and managing pipelines while moving faster than counterparties.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
- Source and lock powered land and brownfield sites that can deliver hundreds of megawatts to gigawatts of capacity, ahead of the build pipeline.
- Negotiate land purchase, lease, and option agreements with landowners, developers, and utilities who don't share our timeline.
- Diligence power availability, interconnection queue position, substation proximity, and deliverability before a site advances past LOI.
- Build and manage a pipeline of powered-land opportunities across multiple regions, and kill weak sites fast so capital and attention go to the ones that pencil.
- Hand off secured sites to development and construction with clean title, a proven power path, and complete diligence so no surprise stalls mobilization.

## Requirements
- You've personally sourced and closed land or site acquisitions where getting power to the site was the constraint that made or broke the deal.
- You've negotiated purchase, lease, and option agreements directly with landowners, developers, and utilities.
- You've read an interconnection queue, a utility capacity map, or a substation study and known whether a site could actually get power and when.
- You've run land diligence end to end across title, zoning, environmental, and power path, and caught the problem that would have killed the deal after signing.
- You've managed a multi-site pipeline and walked away from sites that didn't pencil without sinking months into them first.
- You move fast against counterparties who don't, and you've closed a site while a competitor was still scheduling the first call.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Datacenter, industrial, or large-scale energy site acquisition.
- Utility interconnection and power markets.
- Brownfield or greenfield development.
- Title, entitlement, and land-use diligence.
