About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Powered Land Acquisition Manager to lead the identification, evaluation, and securing of powered land opportunities for our US-focused data center portfolio. In this role, you will be responsible for sourcing large-scale industrial and raw land parcels capable of supporting hyperscale campuses, coordinating power infrastructure procurement, and negotiating complex land transactions with landowners, brokers, and developers.

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of experience in commercial or industrial real estate acquisition, site selection, or energy infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on data centers or large-scale industrial development.
• Deep understanding of data center infrastructure requirements, high-voltage electricity systems, zoning and permitting frameworks, and land-use regulations.
• Proven track record of closing complex, high-stakes land transactions at scale.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to anticipate market trends, identify high-potential locations — such as sites with ready transmission access — and manage long-term land banking strategies.
• Strong relationship management skills across brokers, landowners, developers, utilities, and government stakeholders.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; able to align diverse internal and external stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• Willingness to travel 20%+ as needed for site visits and stakeholder engagement.

Responsibilities

• Identify large industrial or raw land parcels capable of supporting hyperscale campuses, often exceeding 100+ acres, with proximity to fiber and high-voltage transmission infrastructure.
• Evaluate the viability of both utility and behind-the-meter power solutions at 200MW+ scale.
• Coordinate directly with utility providers to secure substation capacity, transmission access, and power agreements — including "powered land" structures where energy infrastructure is committed prior to construction.
• Lead the due diligence process across zoning, rezoning, land-use permitting, environmental reviews, and water usage agreements. Understand permitting timelines and their implications for construction schedules.
• Lead commercial negotiations for purchase agreements, land options, and long-term land leases with landowners, brokers, and developers. Maintain and grow relationships across the brokerage and developer community to ensure FluidStack never misses a valid site opportunity.
• Engage with local, state, and municipal officials to secure development agreements, economic incentives, and community support for large-scale projects.
• Partner with DC Design, Engineering, Construction, Finance, and Legal to align land acquisition strategy with technical requirements, deployment timelines, and multi-year infrastructure investment planning.
• Own forecasting and capacity tracking across all regions to ensure land availability keeps pace with new and unforeseen customer demand.

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms
• Equity in the form of stock options
