Datacenter Development Analyst

POSITION SUMMARY

Cirrascale Cloud Services is seeking a highly organized, technically capable, and commercially minded Data Center Development Analyst to support the rapid expansion of our global data center infrastructure. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for incoming data center opportunities, conducting initial discussions with data center operators, brokers, developers, and infrastructure providers. The position is responsible for identifying, qualifying, analyzing, and advancing potential data center opportunities before presenting them to the Director of Data Center Strategy & Development. The ideal candidate will be comfortable independently managing numerous opportunities, gathering technical and commercial information, identifying potential obstacles, and coordinating the activities necessary to advance qualified projects. The primary objective of this position is to ensure the Director spends time on qualified opportunities rather than preliminary discovery, information gathering, and administrative coordination.

Evaluate available critical IT capacity, power availability, geographic location, pricing, and deployment readiness. Determine whether opportunities support high-density GPU and AI infrastructure requirements. Identify potential disqualifying factors early to avoid unnecessary expenditure of company resources.

Track opportunities from initial contact through qualification, due diligence, negotiation, and final disposition. Maintain accurate records of facility specifications, pricing, availability dates, and key contacts. Track changes in capacity availability, commercial terms, and delivery schedules. Ensure opportunities have clearly defined next steps, responsible parties, and follow-up dates. Provide regular pipeline reports identifying new opportunities, qualified sites, outstanding requirements, and potential risks. 4. Broker, Operator, and Vendor Coordination Develop and maintain working relationships with data center operators, brokers, developers, and infrastructure providers. Conduct follow-up communications to obtain missing information and clarify proposed terms. Coordinate introductory meetings and technical discussions. Request facility documentation, pricing proposals, construction schedules, and infrastructure specifications. Coordinate site visits, technical evaluations, and meetings when required. Maintain consistent communication with external parties throughout the evaluation process. 5. Due Diligence and Project Support Coordinate preliminary due diligence activities for qualified opportunities. Collect electrical one-line diagrams, utility documentation, facility specifications, and construction schedules. Work with internal engineering and operations teams to validate technical assumptions. Identify missing information, technical limitations, commercial concerns, and delivery risks. Assist with preparation of Letters of Intent (LOIs), commercial comparisons, and supporting documentation. Track outstanding issues and coordinate resolution with internal and external stakeholders. Support the Director throughout the acquisition process, including follow-up actions necessary to move opportunities toward execution. 6. Executive Reporting and Decision Support Prepare concise opportunity summaries for the Director of Data Center Strategy & Development. Present qualified opportunities with clearly identified advantages, disadvantages, costs, and risks. Maintain visibility into near‑term and long‑term capacity opportunities. Identify emerging opportunities that may support Cirrascale’s future infrastructure requirements. Assist in preparing executive presentations, capacity reports, and strategic planning materials.
