Senior Manager, Data Center Commercial & Procurement
Role Summary
Join Radiant as a Senior Manager, Data Center Commercial & Procurement in London, where you'll drive the development of commercial strategies and supplier negotiations.
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 start-up 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 major equipment suppliers, GCs and EPCs, outside counsel, and every regional Project Director drawing on group contracts.
Key Responsibilities
You'll build Radiant's DC development commercial, legal and procurement function from a blank canvas, from sourcing and negotiating major equipment contracts, drafting and negotiating agreements, and running commercial risk directly.
Minimum Requirements
- Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.
- Experience negotiating major equipment or construction contracts, ideally in data centres, energy or infrastructure.
- Legal or commercial contract experience (in-house or private practice) with comfort operating without a large support team.
- A pragmatic, get-it-done approach to contract risk rather than a purely risk-averse one.
- Comfort running multiple live negotiations simultaneously.
- Comfortable procuring DC equipment from a technical perspective.
- Experience setting up a data centre (DC).
- Interface management experience.
- Experience interfacing with FM (Facilities Management) providers.
- Working knowledge of FIDIC and NEC contract forms, in addition to EPC.
- Qualified surveyor or equivalent commercial background.
- Experience across UK, EMEA and US contracting frameworks.
- Existing relationships with major MEP or construction suppliers.
Eligibility Criteria
This position is aimed at experienced professionals in commercial and procurement roles within data centers, with no explicit mention of eligibility for international applicants.
