Tuition Reimbursement Program The Energy Strategy Operations Manager acts as a senior extension to the Director, Energy Strategy & Operations, helping operationalize QTS’ energy strategy and maintain a single, trusted, forward‑looking view of power availability, interconnection status, load growth, infrastructure readiness, costs, risks, and constraints. Reporting to the Director, this role owns and governs assigned energy datasets, leads cross‑functional validation of energy inputs, and produces the executive‑, board‑, and Blackstone‑ready reporting and scenario analysis that inform growth, development sequencing, customer commitments, and capital allocation in a rapidly scaling environment.

• Own enterprise definitions, standards, and controls for assigned energy- and power-related data — utility capacity, interconnection milestones, load forecasts, energy costs, contracts, constraints, and risks.
• Help maintain the single source of truth for energy metrics used in executive, board, and Blackstone reporting.

• Review and validate energy inputs from Energy, Development, Operations, and Finance, ensuring site-level realities align with enterprise planning assumptions.
• Surface delivery risks, timing mismatches, and tradeoffs early to the Director.

• Operationalize the strategy through clear metrics, dashboards, and reporting that track power availability versus demand, development sequencing, and execution risk.
• Produce and own assigned energy‑related executive, board, and Blackstone materials.

• Drive scenario analysis around load growth, market expansion, utility timelines, alternative energy solutions, and policy changes.
• Provide leadership with decision‑ready tradeoffs and risk assessments that inform development sequencing, customer commitments, and capital allocation.

• Establish and improve repeatable governance and review processes that reduce late‑stage surprises and ad‑hoc data reconciliation; guide analysts and raise the quality bar.
• Other duties as assigned.
