Work directly with data center operators and developers to align power procurement with site selection, load growth, and operational requirements across current sites and future builds. Support renewable energy and clean energy transactions that add new capacity to the grid and advance corporate sustainability objectives. Design and execute energy hedging strategies (e.g., forwards, structured products) in collaboration with Finance and data center operators to mitigate exposure to price volatility, congestion, and basis risk. Analyze load forecasts, market pricing, and regulatory structures to inform transaction timing, tenor, and product structure; monitor market exposure and manage contract positions over time. Lead engagement with utilities, data center operators, and developers on transmission and distribution agreements, including service agreements, interconnection arrangements, and related infrastructure commitments. Coordinate closely with data center development, design, and engineering teams to align power delivery timelines with project schedules. Lead commercial negotiations with utilities, energy suppliers, renewable developers, and other counterparties to secure favorable terms. Manage executed contracts to ensure compliance with commercial terms, regulatory requirements, and internal policies, maintaining detailed documentation and reporting across the energy portfolio.

Familiarity with transmission planning, congestion management, and interconnection processes in key U.S. markets; exposure to European grid and policy dynamics.
