This role will identify, qualify, and develop strategic business opportunities across the cloud and data center ecosystem. The successful candidate will build strong relationships with hyperscalers, neocloud providers, colocation companies, data center operators, and technology partners—translating their infrastructure requirements into differentiated solutions spanning integrated racks, liquid cooling, power systems, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and lifecycle services.

Coordinate with global account management, engineering, operations, supply chain, finance, and executive leadership to develop solutions that are technically credible, operationally executable, and financially attractive.
Develop commercial strategies and business cases that address pricing, investment requirements, capacity, risk, profitability, and return on investment.
Maintain a disciplined pipeline, including opportunity value, probability, timing, decision criteria, competitive position, risks, and actions required to advance each opportunity.
Support existing accounts in identifying adjacent opportunities and expanding SpinCo’s role across the customer’s product and infrastructure roadmap.
Serve as the commercial focal point during the development and launch of new opportunities, ensuring continuity from initial customer engagement through program transition and execution.
Monitor market trends, customer investments, competitive activity, and technology developments across cloud, AI infrastructure, liquid cooling, and data center power.
