Data Center Site Selection - HyperscaleActive$166K–$271K
The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
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
What they're looking for
- 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%)
