The Data Center Site Acquisition Program Manager is responsible for leasing and acquiring data center space and assessing related infrastructure in select metropolitan areas. This role is a regional member of the Data Center Site Selection & Acquisition team, tasked with performing analytics and conducting market research in targeted metros and regions. The Program Manager will develop acquisition opportunities, negotiate commercial terms with landlords and stakeholders, and construct and negotiate complex lease agreements and associated legal documents, including Master Service Agreements, new lease agreements, lease renewals, and amendments. This position requires close collaboration with various teams, including regional supply, engineering, construction, legal, security, networking, and operations, throughout each project and transaction. The Program Manager will be responsible for preparing and presenting periodic presentations in the form of investment write-ups and presentations, which will be prepared in collaboration with all key stakeholders for internal governance. The ideal candidate will have experience in site selection for industrial-scale projects, real estate evaluation, acquisition, development, construction, lease agreements, and a general awareness of utility agreements, sustainable practices, and financial modeling. The role demands a strong problem solver who can operate in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, and who can manage multiple lease projects while coordinating with internal team members, consultants, vendors, and external stakeholders. The Program Manager will also be accountable for lease execution from demand signal through to the 'general availability' date, driving performance metrics such as safety, quality, rates, schedule, and cost within critical timelines required by the business. This role will involve leading cross-functional teams to evaluate, select, negotiate, and recommend leases for approval, as well as developing high-quality metro strategies based on market expertise, ensuring time-to-market and cost efficiencies required by the business units.
