The global energy landscape is rapidly changing, and we're here to accelerate that change. From the decommissioning of high-carbon power assets, accelerated expansion of renewable energy resources as baseload power, to the advent of the prosumer. The volatility on today's energy grid has never been greater. Watt Bridge was conceived by power industry experts to enable the sustained integration of highly efficient, reduced carbon dispatchable power generation assets on our national energy grid.

Watt Bridge, the world’s preeminent LM6000 delivery platform, is seeking a Senior Director, Information Technology to develop, implement, and own the company’s information technology (IT), cybersecurity and data strategy that will support the origination, development and commercial operations of a full power delivery platform focused on data center campus style development. Watt Bridge developed, financed, built, owned and operated the world’s largest LM6000 portfolio consisting of 2400 MW’s from 2019 thru 2026.

The platform raised over $2BN in capital and is now partnered with Energy Capital Partners as our majority sponsor. With competitive advantages in secured power equipment as an OEM, a proven track record in building out a 2400 MW portfolio, and a fully vertically integrated execution platform, we are well positioned to be highly successful in the data center industry.

The primary focus of this role is developing and leading the separation of IT and cybersecurity services from Parent Company under the Transition Services Agreement (TSA), stands up an independent, cloud-native technology platform within twelve months of close, and then runs that platform through a small internal team and a managed service model. The position builds enterprise-grade IT, cybersecurity, and governance from the outset, secures operational technology (OT) at the company's generation assets, and establishes the controls, reporting, and data foundation expected of a private equity-backed company preparing for future capital markets activity.
