The Data Center Strategy team needs a site-selection manager who has closed NNN and wholesale leases at MW scale. You find the site, underwrite it, and get the paper signed.
Key Responsibilities & Day-to-Day Scope
- ✓ Build and run a pipeline of MW-scale sites: developers, landlords, wholesale operators, power developers, utilities
- ✓ Lead technical diligence: power availability and energization, electrical topology and redundancy, rack density and cooling (including liquid), fiber diversity, PUE, geotech, permitting, commissioning evidence, network latency
- ✓ Run the deal from long list through RFP, site visit, LOI, lease or powered-shell, work letter, and signature (campuses, dedicated buildings, dedicated halls, core expansions, BTS)
- ✓ Negotiate NNN / triple-net and the structures next to it (modified gross, FRI, wholesale dedicated-room, powered shell, BTS, sale-leaseback, JV): $/kW-month, NRC/MRC, escalators, PUE, delay credits, SLAs, ramp, expansion rights, ROFR, exit and renewal
- ✓ Keep landlord scope and Cloudflare scope explicit, including power to dedicated PDU and tenant fit-out
- ✓ Build the TCO / cost-per-MW / NPV case and take the capital ask to leadership
- ✓ Work with legal, operations, capacity planning, network strategy, energy, and security on requirements and delivery dates
- ✓ Run QBRs with campus landlords. Represent Cloudflare with landlord executives and at industry events.
- ✓ Put MW, rent, passthroughs, NRC, and unit cost into the annual data center budget. Check rent and NNN recovery invoices against the lease.
- ✓ Travel as needed (expect ~30%)
- ✓ Other duties as assigned
- ✓ 10+ years selecting or leasing hyperscale or wholesale data centers, or planning MW-scale infrastructure, at a cloud, internet, content, or colocation company
- ✓ Closed NNN / triple-net leases as tenant or buy-side advisor, or the wholesale equivalents (modified gross, FRI, dedicated-hall, powered shell). Colo order forms and rack-level MRC do not count.
- ✓ Can underwrite $/kW-month or $/MW, escalators, OpEx passthrough, tenant improvement / work letters, TCO, and lease NPV, and take that pack to leadership
- ✓ Has led technical diligence on candidate sites (power, electrical topology, cooling, fiber, PUE, commissioning), not only commercial terms
- ✓ Knows how utility interconnection and substation timelines actually work
- ✓ Can run several site processes at once, across time zones, with incomplete information
- ✓ Has taken a campus or BTS lease from LOI to execution
- ✓ Willing to travel ~30%
- ✓ International deal experience preferred
- ✓ Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required
- ✓ Sale-leaseback, JV, or PPA / power-procurement work
