The Company is seeking a Chief Development Officer (CDevO) to lead the expansion of its national development platform. The CDevO will be responsible for the full front end of the hyperscale data center development lifecycle, including development strategy, market and site selection, land acquisition, utility and power strategy, technical due diligence, and overall development readiness. This hands-on executive leadership role demands a candidate with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant discipline and at least 15 years' experience in data center development, large-scale infrastructure, energy, real estate development, or comparable environments. The successful candidate will have a proven track record in leading a development function, managing multidisciplinary teams, and advancing complex infrastructure projects from inception to construction readiness. Key responsibilities for the CDevO include championing a data-driven approach to market selection, site prioritization, and development risk assessment, as well as establishing and maintaining senior relationships with critical stakeholders. The role also involves leading organizational leadership, reporting, and cross-functional execution, and requires a deep understanding of utility engagement, power availability, interconnection processes, and related commercial considerations. The ideal candidate will have experience in zoning, entitlement, permitting, and community engagement, and the ability to evaluate and mitigate complex development risks. A hands-on leadership style, strong commercial judgment, and excellent communication skills are essential, as is the willingness to travel regularly to support development activities.
