We do this by continuously redefining and delivering hyperscale data centres that meet the needs of our customers - the world’s most transformational companies. And we’re doing so sustainably, for today and tomorrow.
Having opened Australia’s first and largest hyperscale data centres in 2017, we set our eyes on rapid expansion and now operate a platform of hyperscale data centres across the APME region. With backing from our investors, including Blackstone, this is just the beginning…

A Snapshot
As Vice President, Finance, you will report to the Chief Financial Officer, serve as the most senior finance leader across the AirTrunk Group, and work closely with the Finance, Corporate Development, Treasury and Legal teams, as well as our shareholder partner, Blackstone.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the finance strategy of a leading global hyperscale data centre platform at a critical stage of expansion. The role provides direct exposure to a world-class infrastructure investor, influence over multi-billion-dollar capital allocation decisions, and a clear line of sight to value creation and exit.
This is a strategically critical role, central to growing and protecting enterprise value as AirTrunk scales across multiple jurisdictions. You will operate as a senior enterprise leader within the Group CFO leadership team.
We have grown at remarkable speed, and our ambition is even greater. To realise it, we need to lead the team to the next level, industrialise our operating model and make it scalable for the growth ahead.
