About the role
Role Scope
Own Solar strategy and deployment, including commercial relationships with solar developers, suppliers, independent power producers, and behind-the-meter generation partners across every active US data center market, from initial site engagement through executed offtake agreement.
Negotiate solar PPAs, behind-the-meter offtake agreements, and retail power arrangements with commercial counterparties; structure terms that create fungible capacity options and run scenario analyses to extend the shelf life of existing agreements or accelerate delivery of new ones.
Shape solar energy outcomes by engaging in interconnection processes, state and federal regulatory proceedings, and policy engagements that affect behind-the-meter generation timelines and economics.
Partner with the site acquisition team to assess solar resource quality, supply chain constraints, and behind-the-meter generation potential for prospective locations before lease commitments are made.
Quarterback solar workstreams across design, construction, finance, and grid operations; distill market, regulatory, and technology developments into clear decisions for leadership.
Requirements
Personally managed a portfolio of large-scale infrastructure or data center projects where the complexity came from the number of concurrent sites, not just the size of any single one.
Built a program tracking processes, systems and reporting pipelines from scratch, not inherited them, with output used by leadership to make decisions.
Quarterback across construction, utilities, legal, finance, and operations simultaneously; the person other teams call when a milestone is at risk.
Owned stage-gate or milestone frameworks that coordinated handoffs between site selection, engineering, permitting, and operations, with no terms lost in the transition.
Catch schedule risk and cost exposure weeks before they surface in a status meeting, and know which two people to call to fix it.
Write and communicate clearly enough to give a CEO or external developer a crisp summary of where a 7GW portfolio stands in five minutes.
Nice-to-Haves
Data center powered shell or leased capacity deal structures.
Utility interconnection and power market dynamics.
AI infrastructure constraints and chip-lock scheduling.
Portfolio-level tooling or automation built on top of spreadsheet-era data.
Governance, Risk & Compliance Analyst responsible for implementing SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and privacy regulations (GDPR/CCPA), building GRC tooling and audit processes, conducting risk assessments, and shaping AI regulatory policies. Requires 6+ years in audit/compliance, experience automating compliance with AI agents, and high-tech cloud-native background.
