VP/Principal, Data Center Site Development

Key Responsibilities: Lead the sourcing and evaluation of powered land and early-stage data center development opportunities across the United States. Identify markets and sites where significant power capacity can be secured to support future data center development. Build and maintain relationships with utilities, landowners, brokers, developers, consultants, and other industry participants. Negotiate land acquisitions, options, and other structures to secure site control while projects progress through the power and approval process. Lead utility engagement, including power availability, capacity, timing, infrastructure requirements, and the process required to secure service for individual sites. Evaluate the capital requirements, risks, and potential returns associated with prospective powered land opportunities. Coordinate early-stage due diligence, entitlements, engineering, and other development activities required to de-risk sites. Develop strategies to monetize approved and de-risked sites through sales to data center developers, operators, and other end users. Present new investment opportunities and recommendations to senior leadership and participate in capital allocation decisions. Establish the processes, relationships, and market intelligence required to build the strategy into a dedicated business line over time.

The Opportunity: This role offers the chance to build a data center powered land strategy from the ground up, backed by an established real estate investment platform with capital available to deploy. Rather than joining an existing data center development team, the successful candidate will have significant autonomy to shape the strategy, originate opportunities nationally, and determine where and how the firm invests. The firm is particularly interested in candidates with direct experience across data center site selection, powered land, site acquisition, utility engagement, or early-stage development. xhqgsiq The role can be based remotely within the United States and is expected to include meaningful back-end participation in the value created alongside competitive cash compensation.
