As part of an elite team with an ambitious 3GW+ roadmap, we are hiring a Director of Site Acquisition to lead strategic land sourcing for cutting-edge data center developments.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Site Origination

Source high-potential land parcels (100–1,000 acres) in regions primed for data center deployment.

Evaluate proximity to power infrastructure, fiber access, and water availability.

Conduct land due diligence to assess buildability, environmental factors, and development feasibility.

Utility and Power Coordination

Collaborate with power utilities to determine availability and capacity.

Guide interconnection studies and drive grid capacity negotiations (LOIs / MOUs).

Align utility delivery timelines with broader project development schedules.

Zoning, Permitting & Compliance

Navigate complex permitting and rezoning processes.

Engage consultants for environmental studies, traffic analysis, and impact assessments.

Track regulatory developments and mitigate risks related to water, moratoriums, or permitting delays.

Commercial Structuring & Negotiations

Lead negotiations on land options, purchases, and lease agreements.

Create land ownership structures (SPVs) that align with the investment model.

Provide cost breakdowns and financial modeling for prospective acquisitions.

Stakeholder Engagement

Build trusted relationships with landowners, municipalities, and regulatory bodies.

Provide regular progress updates to internal investment and development teams.

Maintain pipeline visibility and monitor site conversion metrics.

Ideal Candidate Profile

8+ years’ experience in land acquisition, site development, or infrastructure real estate.

Proven success sourcing land for energy, data center, or industrial projects.

Strong network within utility and permitting ecosystems.

Deep knowledge of zoning, interconnection, and large-parcel development.

Exceptional negotiation, communication, and project tracking skills.

Experience in TX and CA markets strongly preferred.

Success Metrics
