Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Colocation & Data Center Manager - **Company:** Shadeform Inc. - **Location:** Charlotte, NC, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Cloud Computing, Data Centers, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Build Process - **Published:** July 2, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f085f0499bc3858f ## About the Role * 3+ years (5+ preferred) in business development, site selection, supply, capacity, or account management within data centers, colocation, powered land, or cloud infrastructure. * A track record of building and owning long-term commercial relationships, not one-off transactions. * Experience qualifying capacity or deals across power, colocation space, capital readiness, zoning and regulatory, pricing, and timeline. * Comfort operating in a new, fast-moving function where you'll build process as you go. * Willingness to travel occasionally to suppliers and sites. Nice to Have * Direct experience on the colocation and/or powered land side of the market. * Project finance or project development experience involving colocation facilities, data centers, or GPU cluster deployments. * Familiarity with power generation, transmission, or utility infrastructure. * Experience at a neo-cloud, data center developer or operator, hardware OEM (server, storage, or networking), energy or power developer, utility infrastructure firm, or a commercial real estate data center and industrial team. * An existing network of operators, developers, or capacity partners. ## Description As demand for GPUs outpaces supply, the most engaging part of our business is finding and developing capacity. We source it by going deeper into the market than anyone else: working directly with data center operators, developers, and neo-clouds, and helping them clear the barriers that keep them from scaling. As our Colocation & Data Center Manager, you'll work alongside our supply lead to build out the colocation and powered land side of that program. The role is part business development and part account management. You'll source new capacity, build long-term relationships with the operators who hold it, and help them solve the power, space, and capital constraints that limit their growth. This is primarily a supply sourcing and account-management role, with occasional direct engagement on the demand side when it helps close a deal. What You'll Do Source colocation and powered land capacity * Run outbound to smaller and mid-tier data center operators, developers, and neo-clouds. * Qualify opportunities on the factors that matter: power quota, colocation space, capital readiness, zoning and regulatory status, pricing, and timeline. * Help operators clear the barriers to scale - often power, space, or capital. You'll help them solve it, or connect them with partners who can. Manage and grow supplier relationships * Own recurring touch points across the supplier base, on a weekly or biweekly cadence depending on the account. * Track capacity as it comes online, plan against it, and capture it for Shadeform's customers. * Become the first call operators make when they have capacity to move or need help expanding it. Support demand when it matters * Step in alongside the supply lead and sales team on demand-side conversations when your relationships or expertise help move a deal forward. ## Related Videos - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Empowering Democratic Processes: Building a Hybrid Voting Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1163-empowering-democratic-processes-building-a-hybrid-voting-platform) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [AI Factories at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1139-ai-factories-at-scale) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025)
