The opportunity

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.

What you'll do

  • Own the contracting and commercial strategy for how Lambda secures data: center capacity — from leased and colocation sites today to owned, greenfield builds as the portfolio grows

  • Serve as Lambda's lead negotiator on the highest-value capacity agreements —: leases, colocation and service agreements, master agreements, design, equipment, and construction contracts — setting negotiation strategy and partnering with Legal and Finance on terms

  • Lead lease and colocation negotiations with landlords, providers, and: developers from LOI through definitive agreements and service orders — balancing rent, power pricing, delivery dates, expansion rights, and performance obligations

  • Manage the existing lease portfolio: renewals, expansions, amendments, restructurings, exits, and landlord performance — and keep obligations, milestones, and critical dates current

  • Protect delivery schedules through ready-for-service dates, delay credits,: step-in rights, milestones, and SLAs, and hold landlords, suppliers, and contractors accountable for performance

  • Build the contracting strategy for owned capacity: design firms and Engineers of Record, long-lead equipment (owner- vs. contractor-furnished), and GC, EPC, or EPCM delivery models and cost types (lump sum, GMP, cost-plus)

What they're looking for

  • Run competitive bids and RFPs, evaluate proposals, and recommend awards: across leases, equipment, and construction
  • Negotiate and execute master agreements with key providers, OEMs, design: firms, and contractors that secure capacity and favorable terms across sites
  • Drive change order, claims, and dispute discipline alongside Construction, Legal, and Finance
  • Set standards for contract execution: term sheets, negotiation guardrails, templates, contract abstraction, approval workflows, and governance — that build the foundation for scale
