The opportunity
OpenAI is building the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Site Readiness & Development team owns the upstream diligence and development work required to convert powered-land opportunities into executable infrastructure options.
What you'll do
Own the site-selection strategy across priority geographies, including market: maps, pipeline segmentation, source refreshes, live-location tracking, and portfolio prioritization.
Convene Power, Land, Development, Engineering, Construction, Environmental,: Community, Commercial, Legal, and Finance partners to define the shared rubric for a high-quality site.
Translate that rubric into clear screening criteria across power readiness,: land control, timing, scale, cost, community risk, environmental constraints, AHJ path, budget, schedule, and counterparty credibility.
Orchestrate Commercial, Legal, Finance, Power, and Development teams to shape: exclusivity, initial terms, site-control strategy, funding assumptions, and the path to deployment before deeper commitment.
Build a deployment plan for top candidates that identifies capacity,: sequencing, capital implications, critical-path approvals, risks, owners, and stage-gate decisions.
Lead conceptual site planning and test-fit screening using boundaries, map: layers, buildings, substations, roads, parking, laydown, stormwater, utility corridors, acreage, and estimated load.
What they're looking for
- Maintain a single decision-support view of pipeline stage, site health, power: readiness, finance review, maps, project evidence, outstanding source data, owners, deadlines, and escalations.
- Present executive-ready advance, defer, or stop recommendations with clear: trade-offs, resource asks, and next steps; hand qualified sites to the Development Lead with a complete screening record.
- + years in site selection, infrastructure development, data center: development, energy development, commercial real estate, or a related field.
- Strong strategic judgment on market intelligence, portfolio construction,: site viability, counterparty credibility, and prioritization.
