Business Intelligence Expert - Data Centers
About The Position
The Business Intelligence Expert will serve as a highly connected, externally focused market intelligence professional to serve as the organization’s “eyes and ears” across the U.S. and global data center ecosystem. This role is not a traditional desk-based business intelligence position; rather, it is a front-facing, relationship-driven role focused on gathering market insights directly from industry stakeholders, conferences, and emerging technology ecosystems. This role requires strong knowledge of the AI data center industry and the ability to proactively identify trends, partnerships, risks, and opportunities impacting data center power infrastructure. This individual will translate complex developments across AI, infrastructure, and energy into actionable insights that inform INNIO’s strategic direction. Think of this role as a blend of global impact and frequent flyer miles, that includes a high degree of travel (domestic and international) and the chance to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across Europe and the U.S.
