VP Power & Energy Internal Search Instructions

Role Overview

We are hiring a VP Power & Energy for a confidential AI infrastructure platform currently operating in stealth mode.

This is a very senior appointment. The role sits at the heart of the company’s AI infrastructure build strategy. The business is building industrial scale AI factories, not traditional data centres. Power is the foundation layer.

The ideal candidate will have operated at the intersection of:

• Power strategy

• Utility relationships

• Grid access

• Interconnection

• Powered land

• Hyperscale infrastructure

• Large scale data centre campus development

• Generation partnerships

• Energy procurement

• Infrastructure capital

• Global capacity deployment

The strongest candidates will have both power depth and broad infrastructure strategy experience .

This is not a narrow power procurement role. It is not a sustainability role. It is not a facilities role. It is a senior infrastructure leadership role focused on securing and scaling power for multi gigawatt AI infrastructure deployment.

Must Have Criteria

Only shortlist candidates who show most of the following:

• Senior experience in power, energy or infrastructure strategy

• Direct exposure to data centres, hyperscale infrastructure, digital infrastructure, AI infrastructure or large industrial power users

• Experience securing, structuring or managing large scale power capacity

• Evidence of working with utilities, grid operators, transmission companies or distribution companies

• Experience with grid access, interconnection, power connection agreements or power delivery pathways

• Experience across large MW or GW scale infrastructure programmes

• Ability to support powered land, site selection or campus activation decisions

• Commercial understanding of power cost, energy procurement, infrastructure economics and project risk

• Experience working with senior external stakeholders such as utilities, governments, regulators, developers, investors or hyperscale customers

• Ability to operate across strategy and execution, not just advisory

• Broader international exposure, ideally across Europe and North America
