Senior Manager, Regional Data Center Development, US

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Company Overview:</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Radiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure — from powered land, to compute, to software.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Delivery Leadership</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Personally run the GC/EPC relationship and day-to-day delivery of the live US project.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build the US planning/permitting and stakeholder relationships from scratch state and county entitlement processes, utility filings, incentive negotiations.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Team build</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Recruit the Project Director and site team as the project demands it, while remaining the most senior hands-on presence on-site in year one.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Portfolio coordination</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Sit on the monthly portfolio review with the CDO and flag resourcing conflicts (e.g. shared commissioning engineers) directly.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What You Bring:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience delivering data centre, energy or large infrastructure projects in the US.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Comfort being the first and only Radiant leader on the ground in a new region.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Working knowledge of US utility, ISO/RTO and state entitlement processes.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're hiring for founding energy and adaptability, not a large team you've historically managed.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Deep, first-hand knowledge of the US data centre market.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Strong existing supply chain relationships — beyond GCs and EPCs — to help Radiant secure the best partners as the US region scales.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">East Coast preferred for time zone crossover with the London HQ team, though candidates from anywhere in the US will be considered.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Existing relationships with US GCs, EPCs, utilities or colocation operators.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience across multiple US states' entitlement/incentive regimes.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experience standing up a new region or market for a scaling company.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Qualities we look for:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Set the standard: </strong>Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Inspire the change: </strong>There's no blueprint for the future. You'll embrace challenges and change.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>You're real and you're true to yourself: </strong>We cherish and celebrate diversity so you'll feel right at home whoever you are and whoever you're talking to, you treat everyone the same.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Get stuck in: </strong>You'd rather be building than overseeing. Our strategy will keep evolving, and so will you — attitude and adaptability matter more to us than a fixed playbook or a big team behind you.</p></li></ul><p>Find more <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk/english-speaking-jobs">English Speaking Jobs in United Kingdom</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
