The opportunity
OpenAI’s Compute organization builds the infrastructure that powers frontier AI training and inference. This work brings together commercial, technical, strategy, and operations teams to secure and develop the sites and capacity needed for large-scale compute deployment.
What you'll do
Lead sourcing, evaluation, and commercial execution of land acquisition: opportunities for data-center development.
Support data-center leasing and real estate acquisitions, working across land: and data-center transactions as priorities require.
Build relationships with landowners, brokers, developers, and data-center: counterparties to source opportunities.
Structure and negotiate land acquisition, site-control, and data-center lease: agreements with legal and business partners.
Coordinate diligence with legal, finance, engineering, and development: partners, translating site constraints and readiness risks into commercial decisions.
Evaluate deal economics and present clear recommendations on costs, terms, tradeoffs, and next steps.
What they're looking for
- Manage the transaction pipeline, keep stakeholders aligned, and resolve: issues that affect decisions and execution.
- Drive transactions through agreement execution and coordinate clear handoffs: to the teams responsible for development and delivery.
- Strong commercial real estate development experience, with depth in land: acquisition, site control, and development feasibility.
- A record of sourcing, structuring, and negotiating complex real estate agreements.
