  • Build and maintain relationships with brokers in target markets to generate a steady pipeline of site acquisition and development opportunities
  • Support monthly and quarterly board reporting on the development pipeline, capital deployment and project performance versus underwriting
  • Coordinate due diligence with engineering, facilities, sales, legal and third-party consultants
  • Evaluate power availability and utility economics, land basis, entitlements, construction cost and incentive packages as inputs to site selection
  • Research and report on data center market supply, absorption and comparable transactions to expand market knowledge and support pipeline development

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
