Project Developer; Manager​/Director

Satoshi Energy is at the forefront of energy innovation. We develop powered land for large-load data centers - optimizing speed-to-power through colocating with renewable generation (since 2018) or standalone / behind-the-meter structures. As the first mover, we have developed nearly 1 GW of powered land for data centers, with an additional 5+ GWs of projects under development.

We have strong conviction on how energy markets should work: speed and scale, data you can actually use, digital money that settles as fast as power moves, and AI that does repetitive tasks so people can do their best work.

Our team brings deep expertise across electric power markets, project development, and software development, positioning us as trusted experts in this rapidly evolving market. We are seeking a Project Development Manager or Director (level set to experience, confirmed in the offer) who has a proven track record of owning projects from concept through commercial operation, and must be able to personally drive land, interconnection, engineering, and deal execution.

You own projects from concept through commercial operation. You call the play. You personally drive land, interconnection, entitlements, and deal execution. You pull in counsel, commercial, engineering, and consultants, and you stay accountable to the milestones.

This role is ideal for an experienced development professional who combines strategic thinking with hands‑on execution and thrives in a high‑growth startup environment. You will drive timelines, manage external partners (buyers, sellers, contractors, land owners, county officials, etc), and stay in the work.

• End-to-End Project Execution:
  You will drive data center development projects from site identification through commercial operation, aiming for on-time, on‑budget delivery while maintaining quality standards. You will manage critical paths, remove blockers, and coordinate seamlessly across development stages.
• Drive land control and site develop ability: acquisition and lease negotiation, landowner relationships, and coordinating surveys and title. Contribute to unencumbering (easements, rights‑of‑way, surface/mineral, title defects, and other encumbrances) in partnership with our land team and counsel.
• Interconnection and Power
  
  Infrastructure: Drive interconnection processes, utility coordination, and the electrical path for large-load facilities. Translate study results and constraints into siting and commercial decisions.
• Project Diligence:
  Lead technical, financial, permitting, environmental, and real‑estate diligence on your projects. Organize data rooms, issue lists, and project‑management tracking so stakeholders stay aligned.
• Cross-functional Collaboration:
  
  You will collaborate closely with our C‑suite, VPs of Development and Strategy, engineering consultants, sales team, and operations teams to align on priorities, resolve challenges, and drive projects forward. Your ability to bridge technical execution with business strategy will be essential.

• 5+ years (Manager) or 8+ years (Director) developing utility-scale energy, energy storage, and/or data center projects, with demonstrated ownership from early stage through commercial operation or close.
• Proven quarterback: you have personally run the critical path on live projects, not only overseen PMs or vendors who did.
• Generalist development experience spanning land, interconnection, engineering, and deal execution.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex stakeholder relationships including enterprise customers, utilities, engineering firms, and landowners.
• Strong knowledge of power infrastructure, interconnection processes, utility coordination, and electrical systems for large-load facilities.
