Join a global leader in advanced energy and power infrastructure as it builds out a dedicated commercial function focused entirely on the hyperscale data center market.

This business operates one of the most proven and vertically integrated energy platforms in the industry, spanning power electronics, energy storage, software, and delivery at scale. As data center power demand accelerates across North America, the company is investing in senior commercial leadership to develop strategic relationships and originate large, complex opportunities with the world’s leading operators.

The Role

This is a senior business development position focused exclusively on hyperscale and large-scale data center customers.

You will own market development end to end: originating opportunities, shaping customer requirements, structuring sales processes, and guiding projects from first engagement through contract execution. This role carries significant growth targets and requires deep credibility with sophisticated buyers who expect partners not vendors.

You’ll work closely with internal commercial, engineering, finance, and legal teams to translate highly technical power and energy solutions into compelling, bankable propositions for mission-critical infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and execute a go-to-market strategy for the North American hyperscale data center segment
  • Leverage existing relationships and build new senior-level connections with major data center operators and developers
  • Identify, qualify, and originate large, long-cycle opportunities and build a robust sales pipeline
  • Lead the full sales process from initial engagement through commercial structuring and contract execution
  • Shape and respond to complex RFPs, generating high-quality proposals aligned with customer requirements and strategic objectives
  • Lead techno-economic analysis, identifying risks, optimizing technical and commercial variables, and clearly articulating differentiated value versus competitors
  • Own commercial negotiations, coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver executable agreements
  • Proactively manage internal and external stakeholders to drive timely decision-making and close-out

The Candidate

Required:
  • 5–10+ years of experience in long-cycle B2B sales or business development
  • Proven success selling complex energy, power, or infrastructure solutions
  • Strong understanding of how hyperscale data center buyers evaluate, procure, and deploy power solutions
  • Demonstrated ability to structure and lead sophisticated sales processes across multiple stakeholders
Highly valued:
  • Established relationships with major data center operators, developers, or EPCs
  • Experience showcasing power electronics, energy storage, or grid-interactive solutions to technical and commercial audiences
  • Strong commercial acumen across pricing models, project economics, and risk allocation
  • Ability to operate autonomously while coordinating cross-functionally in fast-paced, high-growth environments

Why This Role Stands Out

Pure data center focus –
100% dedicated to one of the fastest-growing power demand segments globally

  • Proven platform – Selling real, deployed technology—not concepts or pilots
  • Senior ownership – End-to-end responsibility for market development and deal execution
  • Strategic impact – Direct influence on how hyperscale infrastructure is powered at scale
This is a rare opportunity for a senior commercial professional to define and lead a hyperscale data center growth strategy within a platform that already has the technology, scale, and execution capability to win.
