• Hands-on experience owning datasets, dashboards, and executive / investor reporting.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with strong analytical and modeling skills.
• Proven ability to coordinate and influence cross-functional stakeholders and produce executive-ready materials.
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills.
• Strong ability to translate energy data and strategy into structured, decision-ready insights.
• Working command of data governance, dashboards, scenario analysis, and executive / investor reporting.
• Ability to coordinate and influence across a matrixed, cross-functional organization.

• Unwavering commitment to customer service and QTS core values (Integrity, Character, Trust; Action, Innovation, Accountability; Team).

Nice To Haves

• Working knowledge of power markets, utility interconnection, load forecasting, energy costs, or generation / infrastructure technologies.
• Power BI or similar BI / visualization tools; experience with structured data governance and management.
• Program/portfolio management or data-governance experience.
• Experience in energy, utilities, power, infrastructure, or large-scale data center / service-provider environments; strategy & operations or chief-of-staff exposure.

Responsibilities

• Own enterprise definitions, standards, and controls for assigned energy- and power-related data — utility capacity, interconnection milestones, load forecasts, energy costs, contracts, constraints, and risks.
• Help maintain the single source of truth for energy metrics used in executive, board, and Blackstone reporting.
• Review and validate energy inputs from Energy, Development, Operations, and Finance, ensuring site-level realities align with enterprise planning assumptions.
• Surface delivery risks, timing mismatches, and tradeoffs early to the Director.
• Operationalize the strategy through clear metrics, dashboards, and reporting that track power availability versus demand, development sequencing, and execution risk.
• Produce and own assigned energy-related executive, board, and Blackstone materials.
• Drive scenario analysis around load growth, market expansion, utility timelines, alternative energy solutions, and policy changes.
• Provide leadership with decision-ready tradeoffs and risk assessments that inform development sequencing, customer commitments, and capital allocation.
