About Vantage Data Centers

Vantage Data Centers powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of the world’s well-known hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises. Developing and operating across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Vantage has evolved data center design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.

The Product team at Vantage defines and stewards our global product platform: the customer outcomes we aim to deliver, the standards and reference approaches that make delivery repeatable, and the closed-loop learning that turns each deployment into an upgrade for the next. We do this in partnership with Engineering, Delivery, Operations, Procurement, Sustainability, Sales, Site Selection, and Business Development, aligning priorities and trade-offs while preserving clear functional ownership for design execution, construction delivery, and site operations.

Vantage is building the next generation of digital infrastructure through industrialized product platforms, standardized deployment systems, and long-range technology strategy. As demand for AI, advanced computing, and digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, energy has emerged as the defining constraint to growth. The ability to acquire, integrate, optimize, and scale energy infrastructure has become a strategic differentiator.

The Senior Director, Energy Systems is responsible for defining and stewarding Vantage’s global energy systems strategy and product roadmap. This role owns the vision, strategy, and development of the energy layer of the Vantage product platform, translating evolving utility markets, interconnection and regulatory changes, customer requirements, power infrastructure constraints, grid modernization trends, and validated technology innovations into scalable energy products and deployment models.

The position serves as the primary product steward for Vantage’s energy systems portfolio, including behind-, front-, across-the-meter energy solutions, power generation integration, energy storage, grid‑interactive infrastructure, energy optimization systems, and future energy platform capabilities. Success in this role requires a demonstrated blend of commercial, technical, and strategic expertise. The ideal candidate possesses deep knowledge of energy markets, energy contracting and partnerships, utility interconnection processes, many power generation technologies, transmission and distribution systems, and energy infrastructure development, while also understanding how to convert those capabilities into repeatable product offerings that create long‑term competitive advantage.

First‑hand experience is preferred, especially across multiple regions (e.g., utilities / balancing authorities, ISOs / RTOs), types of energy partners (e.g., OEMs, EPCs, IPPs), and partnership methods (e.g., JV, equity, co‑development). Working closely with teams across the Energy and Product organizations this individual will ensure energy innovations evolve into scalable platform capabilities that can be consistently deployed across Vantage’s global footprint.

The Senior Director, Energy Systems is accountable for defining the multi‑year strategy, roadmap, and product portfolio governing the energy layer of the Vantage platform. The role establishes how energy infrastructure, generation resources, storage systems, utility relationships, grid integration strategies, and emerging energy solutions contribute to customer value, capacity growth, resilience, speed‑to‑market, and long‑term business performance.
