ABOUT THE JOB:

As a key strategic partner within Data Center Investments and Development

deliver data center compute capacity. Operating at the critical intersection of

strategy, communications, and business operations, you will assist the

organization’s operating cadence, including OKRs, quarterly business reviews,

yearly budgeting, and executive communications. You will partner closely with

leadership and organizational stakeholders to establish standard operating

procedures, govern data integrity, and accelerate agreement velocity by

designing frictionless approval workflows. Additionally, you will advocate

operational transformation by deploying scalable AI, and represent DCID across

technical, financial, and real estate teams, as you ensure seamless

cross-functional alignment, elevate data-driven decision-making, foster

continuous organizational learning across the data center delivery lifecycle and

ensure strategic priorities are translated into scalable operational frameworks.

The Development Pipeline and Business Operation (DPBO) team supports land

acquisitions and data center leasing through data integrity oversight,

development of standard operating procedures, policies and best practices, and

deployment of AI tools aimed at streamlining the agreement flow. Members of the

team contribute at each milestone, from site selection/intake/origination,

through approvals, on to asset management. As markets shift, and business needs

evolve, DPBO is at the frontline, adjusting course so the greater Data Center

Investments and Development (DCID) team can respond.

DPBO also serves as the connective tissue between DCID and cross-functional

teams, coordinating collaboration and translating priorities. This gives DPBO a

birds-eye view of the entire data center life-cycle, allowing team members to

develop high-leverage expertise across acquisitions, contracting, technology and
