Role Overview As a Transaction Manager, you’ll lead the commercial work required to secure data center capacity and related infrastructure from early market outreach through negotiation and contract execution. You’ll partner closely with legal, finance, engineering, networking, and delivery teams to translate technical needs into workable deal structures and get agreements signed on schedule.

Support the handoff into delivery/deployment teams so signed agreements translate cleanly into executed buildouts and operational readiness.

Experience designing and running competitive sourcing/RFP processes and making tradeoffs based on both qualitative and quantitative inputs.

Nice to have Direct experience with data center capacity deals (colocation, powered shell, build-to-suit, wholesale, etc.).
