About The Position

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, focusing on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. This involves rethinking every layer of the stack, including acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them. The company values high ownership, autonomy, velocity, first principles thinking, and a passion for the problem space. The development team is tackling key challenges such as securing land for gigawatt-scale deployments weekly, optimizing development to bring power online in months, and acquiring 10GW of behind-the-meter solar generation. The company operates with high intensity and long hours to push the frontier of AI forward.

Requirements

Personally built and run the program management infrastructure for a large, concurrent portfolio of capital projects where the stakes were real and the margin for error was small.
Designed stage-gate or milestone frameworks from scratch and enforced them across teams that didn't report to you.
Track 20+ workstreams without losing detail, and the people around you rely on your read of the schedule before they rely on their own.
Coordinated across legal, finance, construction, and external counterparties on deals or projects where the dependencies were messy and the timeline was fixed.
Write and speak with enough precision that a senior stakeholder can make a decision off your update without needing a follow-up.
Deal discipline, documentation, and process hygiene are habits you hold even when the pace is high and the pressure is to move fast.

Nice To Haves

Data center development, powered shell, or build-to-suit project experience.
Utility coordination and power delivery timelines.
Construction program management at campus scale.
Familiarity with BoP scope and construction handoff processes.

Responsibilities

Own the program management operating rhythm across a multi-GW portfolio of third-party leased and powered shell data center sites, from LOI through construction handoff to operations.
Architect and maintain the stage-gate framework that tracks each site from site negotiation through utility lock, lease execution, and BoP construction, ensuring every milestone is visible and every dependency is owned.
Build and run the tooling, trackers, and data pipelines that give leadership real-time visibility into schedule, cost, risk, and design changes across 20+ concurrent projects and multiple campuses.
Coordinate directly with third-party developers, internal construction, utilities, legal, and finance to surface blockers early and keep deal-to-power timelines under six months.
Hand off signed sites to delivery and operations teams with complete documentation, no dropped terms, and no surprises after mobilization.
