Job description

Delivery Leadership

  • Personally run the GC/EPC relationship and day-to-day delivery of the live US project.
  • Build the US planning/permitting and stakeholder relationships from scratch state and county entitlement processes, utility filings, incentive negotiations.

Team build

  • Recruit the Project Director and site team as the project demands it, while remaining the most senior hands-on presence on-site in year one.

Portfolio coordination

  • Sit on the monthly portfolio review with the CDO and flag resourcing conflicts (e.g. shared commissioning engineers) directly.

Requirements

This is a cross-functional role requiring strong technical, commercial, and delivery capabilities, with exposure to executive stakeholders and GCs, EPCs, utilities, ISOs/RTOs and local/state authorities in Radiant’s first US market., * Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.

  • Experience delivering data centre, energy or large infrastructure projects in the US.
  • Comfort being the first and only Radiant leader on the ground in a new region.
  • Working knowledge of US utility, ISO/RTO and state entitlement processes.
  • We’re hiring for founding energy and adaptability, not a large team you’ve historically managed.
  • Deep, first-hand knowledge of the US data centre market.
  • Strong existing supply chain relationships - beyond GCs and EPCs - to help Radiant secure the best partners as the US region scales.
  • East Coast preferred for time zone crossover with the London HQ team, though candidates from anywhere in the US will be considered.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

  • Existing relationships with US GCs, EPCs, utilities or colocation operators.
  • Experience across multiple US states’ entitlement/incentive regimes.
  • Experience standing up a new region or market for a scaling company.

About the company

Radiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.

We design and operate AI-native cloud platforms engineered for sovereignty, performance, and scale. Our infrastructure powers GPU-native workloads, multi-tenant control planes, and high-performance AI systems designed for the most demanding environments.

We are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure - from powered land, to compute, to software.

As we scale, we’re building this organisation from the ground up. We’re looking for people who’d rather build the playbook than inherit one - who are comfortable doing the work themselves as well as directing others, and who can adapt as fast as our strategy does. This is a startup model: attitude and adaptability matter more to us than years of experience or the size of team you’ve previously managed.
