With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute.

• Working knowledge of wholesale power markets (for example ERCOT, SPP, or WECC) and the commercial structures of power purchase agreements.
• Familiarity with emerging clean energy technologies, such as long-duration storage and next-generation geothermal, sufficient to evaluate new products and make credible recommendations.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, including building business cases and evaluating vendors, technologies, and market opportunities.
• Experience identifying and delivering value chain (Scope 3) emissions reductions, including working with procurement and engineering teams on lower-carbon materials, supplier engagement programs, or embodied carbon in construction is a plus.
• Bachelor's degree required. MBA a plus.

• Evaluating new Scope 1 and Scope 2 opportunities, including clean firm energy and emerging technologies, and preparing investable options for leadership review.
• Managing vendor and counterparty relationships across energy and carbon programs, including certificate and offset suppliers and technology providers.
