Senior Manager, Regional Data Center Development

Company Overview:

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.

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.

• Personally run the GC/EPC relationship and day-to-day delivery of the live US project.
• Build the US planning/permitting and stakeholder relationships from scratch state and county entitlement processes, utility filings, incentive negotiations.

• 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.

• Sit on the monthly portfolio review with the CDO and flag resourcing conflicts (e.g. shared commissioning engineers) directly.

• 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.

• Set the standard: Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up.
• Inspire the change: There's no blueprint for the future. You'll embrace challenges and change.
• You're real and you're true to yourself: 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.
• Get stuck in: 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.
