Senior Manager, Regional Data Center Development, US
Role Summary
Join Radiant as a Senior Manager for Regional Data Center Development. Lead the establishment of a new project in the US with a focus on adaptability and innovation.
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 GCs, EPCs, utilities, ISOs/RTOs and local/state authorities in Radiant's first US market.
Key Responsibilities
You'll own delivery of Radiant's first US project end to end, building the US region from the ground up, this is a founding role for the US business, not a caretaker seat.
Minimum Requirements
- Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.
- Experience delivering data centre, energy or large infrastructure projects in the US.
- Comfort being the first and only Radiant leader on the ground in a new region.
- Working knowledge of US utility, ISO/RTO and state entitlement processes.
- We're hiring for founding energy and adaptability, not a large team you've historically managed.
- Deep, first-hand knowledge of the US data centre market.
- Strong existing supply chain relationships — beyond GCs and EPCs — to help Radiant secure the best partners as the US region scales.
- East Coast preferred for time zone crossover with the London HQ team, though candidates from anywhere in the US will be considered.
- Existing relationships with US GCs, EPCs, utilities or colocation operators.
- Experience across multiple US states' entitlement/incentive regimes.
- Experience standing up a new region or market for a scaling company.
