Senior Manager, Data Center ESG & Sustainability
Role Summary
Join Radiant as a Senior Manager for Data Center ESG & Sustainability, building the ESG function from the ground up in London.
About the Organisation
Radiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.
We design and operate AI-native cloud platforms engineered for sovereignty, performance, and scale. Our infrastructure powers GPU-native workloads, multi-tenant control planes, and high-performance AI systems designed for the most demanding environments.
We are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure — from powered land, to compute, to software.
As we scale, we're building this organisation from the ground up. We're looking for people who'd rather build the playbook than inherit one — who are comfortable doing the work themselves as well as directing others, and who can adapt as fast as our strategy does. This is a startup model: attitude and adaptability matter more to us than years of experience or the size of team you've previously managed.
This is a cross-functional role requiring strong technical, commercial, and delivery capabilities, with exposure to executive stakeholders and certification bodies, auditors, investors and lenders, and the regional Stakeholder & Community leads.
Key Responsibilities
You'll build Radiant's ESG function from scratch; carbon methodology, certifications, and investor/lender reporting. You'll be doing the analysis and writing the disclosures yourself in the early stages, not just setting policy for others to execute.
Minimum Requirements
- Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.
- Experience in sustainability, ESG or carbon strategy roles, ideally in infrastructure, real estate or energy.
- Comfort doing the technical carbon or certification work yourself, not just setting direction for a team.
- Ability to write clearly for an investor or lender audience.
- We're looking for someone who wants to build the function, not manage an existing one.
- Familiarity with the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres — Radiant is not based in the EU, but this remains relevant to the role.
- Experience with BREEAM and/or LEED certification processes.
- Exposure to green financing or sustainability-linked loans.
- Familiarity with renewable PPA structures.
