Basic Function:

As a member of the Supply Chain team, the Senior Manager Contracts will play a critical role in the contractual strategy and execution for large-scale data center projects. This role will manage the development, negotiation, and administration of EPC, design-build, and related contractual agreements, supporting projects from RFP through close-out. The position requires an expert capable of optimizing risk allocation, compliance, schedule, and cost outcomes, representing ownership interests in all external and internal contractual matters.

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Lead creation, issuance, and full-cycle management of RFPs for EPC, design-build, professional services, OFCI (owner-furnished contractor-installed) equipment, and major supply agreements.​
  • Negotiate and execute complex contract documents (EPC, design-build, LLE procurement) ensuring risk, schedule, and cost objectives are met.​
  • Develop, standardize, and update contract templates, terms, and negotiation playbooks tailored to fast-paced data center project delivery.​
  • Collaborate with legal, procurement, project management, engineering, and finance to ensure contractual compliance, scope clarity, and coordinated project delivery.​
  • Support the Project Team with change orders, claims, extensions, close-outs, and dispute resolution to minimize commercial impacts and maintain project momentum.​
  • Oversee vendor prequalification, bid evaluation, and long-lead equipment procurement processes.​
  • Track contract obligations, critical milestones, notice periods, and deliverables to ensure adherence to owner objectives.​
  • Report regularly on contracting activities, risk exposure, and project commitments to leadership.​

Qualifications/Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, law, or a related field; Master’s or JD preferred.​
  • 5+ years of contract management experience within the data center, mission-critical infrastructure, or large-scale construction projects.​
  • Demonstrated success negotiating and administering EPC, design-build, and procurement contracts (including LLE/OFCI scopes) for data center projects.​
  • Strong working knowledge of contract law, construction regulations, commercial risk allocation, and claims/dispute management.​
  • Proficiency with contract management and document control software (Procore, MS Office, Adobe).​
  • Exceptional organizational, negotiation, problem-solving, interpersonal, and communications skills.​
  • Adept at managing multiple simultaneous priorities, deadlines, and high-value contracts in a fast-paced development environment.​
  • Experience with the full project lifecycle, from initial RFP through construction and close-out, for hyperscale or colocation data center assets is highly valued

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.
