The opportunity
OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is building the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Site Readiness & Development team is responsible for translating OpenAI’s long-term infrastructure needs into executable data center capacity across…
What you'll do
Develop and maintain a multi-year portfolio plan for data center shell capacity across priority geographies.
Translate compute forecasts, IT-load requirements, rack-density assumptions,: power schedules, cooling requirements, and deployment timelines into site and building requirements.
Determine when shell capacity must be secured, designed, constructed,: commissioned, and ready for technical fit-out.
Integrate land, utility, interconnection, permitting, design, procurement,: construction, commissioning, and network-readiness schedules into a single capacity view.
Identify capacity gaps, schedule conflicts, stranded-capacity risks, and: dependencies that could prevent infrastructure from becoming operational on time.
Develop scenario models comparing self-build, lease, colocation, and strategic development-partner options.
What they're looking for
- Evaluate delivery pathways based on schedule, cost, control, flexibility,: reliability, scalability, and execution risk.
- Recommend campus, building, and utility phasing that preserves optionality: while supporting near-term deployment requirements.
- Assess third-party proposals and determine whether proposed facilities,: schedules, technical specifications, and commercial structures can satisfy OpenAI’s requirements.
- Partner with capacity planning, energy, real estate, site development,: design, construction, commissioning, networking, finance, legal, and commercial teams.
