Director of Investment

The Managing Director of Investments will serve as a senior investment leader and trusted advisor to the CEO, with primary responsibility for identifying, evaluating, structuring, and executing investments across AIB Data Centers and the CEO’s broader portfolio of strategic opportunities.

The role will maintain a core focus on data centers, digital infrastructure, real estate, power, energy, and related assets, while also evaluating investments across other industries that fall within the CEO’s purview. This individual will have significant ownership of the entire investment lifecycle—from market identification and opportunity sourcing through underwriting, diligence, negotiation, closing, and post-investment oversight.

The Managing Director will be expected to bring deep real estate investment experience, strong financial and commercial judgment, and the ability to independently lead complex transactions. This person will work directly with the CEO and coordinate closely with finance, legal, compliance, development, operations, and external investment partners.
