Job description

Location: Remote, with occasional business travel
Engagement: Advisory / Consulting
Industry: AI Data Centers, Digital Infrastructure, NeoCloud

We are seeking an experienced senior executive or business advisor with a proven track record in developing, managing and commercializing AI data center infrastructure specifically for NeoCloud operators.

The ideal candidate has held a senior management position within a company that develops, builds and leases physical data center infrastructure to NeoCloud providers, or has directly advised executive management teams in this sector.

This is a strategic business advisory role focused on investment decisions, business models, commercial agreements and successful project delivery, rather than technical engineering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise senior management on AI data center development strategies and business models.
  • Provide strategic guidance on developing and leasing physical infrastructure to NeoCloud operators.
  • Support investment planning, project financing, capital allocation and commercial feasibility assessments.
  • Advise on commercial negotiations, long-term leasing agreements and partnerships with NeoCloud clients.
  • Guide management teams through project development, construction planning and operational readiness from a business perspective.
  • Identify commercial risks, growth opportunities and strategies to maximize investment returns.
  • Share practical insights from successfully delivered AI data center projects.

Requirements

  • Proven senior management or executive advisory experience in AI data center development, specifically serving NeoCloud operators.
  • Direct involvement in relevant projects within the last 3–5 years.
  • Experience managing businesses or major commercial projects involving the development and leasing of AI data center infrastructure.
  • Strong understanding of data center investment economics, commercial structures and infrastructure leasing models.
  • Demonstrated experience in strategic decision-making, business development, investments or commercial negotiations.
  • Ability to advise executive teams and investors based on hands-on industry experience.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Professional proficiency in English.

Important: This is not an engineering, technical design or data center maintenance position. We are exclusively interested in candidates with relevant senior business management or executive advisory experience.
