Identify off-market and early-stage opportunities before they become broadly marketed. Perform initial qualification of potential sites and capacity opportunities. Work with Engineering and Network teams to determine whether opportunities can support our cloud and high-density AI infrastructure. Work with Capacity Planning to translate future demand into a forward-looking capacity pipeline. Engage providers early to understand capacity, timelines and indicative commercial conditions. Work closely with the wider Procurement team to convert qualified opportunities into competitive sourcing and negotiation strategies. Support commercial negotiations with market intelligence, alternative capacity options and established provider relationships. Where appropriate, explore capacity reservations, expansion rights, powered shells, build-to-suit developments and other strategic infrastructure opportunities.

The role will sit within the Procurement department and report directly to the Head of Procurement , working closely with Capacity Planning, Engineering, Network, Finance and Legal.

It is a highly market-facing position focused on ensuring we have early visibility and access to available and upcoming data center capacity before it becomes an urgent requirement. You will build relationships across the global data center ecosystem, proactively identify capacity opportunities and maintain market intelligence, bringing qualified opportunities into the wider Procurement process for commercial negotiation and contracting. We are looking for someone who already knows the data center market, understands how capacity gets developed and allocated, and has the relationships to identify opportunities that may never reach a conventional RFP.
