Director, Corporate Development
About The Position
We are seeking a commercial and strategic Director to join our team and help shape Hut 8’s capital allocation, growth strategy, and infrastructure expansion.

Requirements
- 7–10+ years of transactional experience across Investment Banking, Private Equity, Infrastructure Funds, or Corporate Development from leading computing infrastructure and power and energy companies.
- A proven history of closing transactions with clear ownership over the sourcing, structuring, and financing process.
- Strong familiarity with the economics of digital infrastructure, AI compute, data centers, or power and energy markets.
- Deep understanding of corporate finance, project finance, capital markets, and corporate structuring, along with the ability to oversee complex modeling teams.
- Strong communication skills and professional maturity, with the ability to present confidently to C-suite executives, board members, and sophisticated external partners.
- A self-starter who can effectively manage multiple high-stakes projects at once and guide cross-functional teams without losing sight of the details.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
Nice To Haves

Responsibilities
- Identify, screen, and source strategic investment opportunities, joint ventures, and M&A targets that expand our AI compute and data center footprint.
- Lead the commercial and legal structuring of complex deals, balancing corporate strategy, risk mitigation, and commercial terms.
- Design and execute the financing strategy for each transaction, evaluating and securing the right mix of debt, equity, or structured capital solutions.
- Manage the full deal lifecycle from initial valuation and non-binding offers through due diligence, definitive documentation negotiation, and closing.
- Oversee corporate financial modeling work streams (including DCF, LBO, merger analysis, and project finance models) for data center developments and high-performance computing (HPC) assets.
- Synthesize transaction economics and valuation materials into clear presentations and recommendations for the Executive Team and the Board.
- Partner directly with senior leadership across AI/Data Center Development, Energy Origination, Strategic Finance, EPC, Treasury, Legal, and Accounting to ensure seamless execution.
