Job description

Head of Data Centres (Development & Strategy)

Based anywhere in UK with some global travel

Extremely competitive Salary + share options (The client is committed to bringing in the best talent and are flexible on what an overall package would look like).

After a recent successful placement with the same client, Troi Search are delighted to be working once again with this Technology company, that specialises in providing high-performance, sustainable GPU cloud infrastructure for High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads - in other words, provides the backbone that powers the surge in AI demand.

In this strategic leadership role, you’ll design and deliver a global data centre roadmap, scaling to multi-GW capacity to power next gen AI and HPC workloads.

What You’ll Do:

  • Define long-term data centre strategy and execution
  • Secure large-scale facilities (25MW+) through innovative partnerships
  • Negotiate deals, validate sites, and set technical standards
  • Work closely with the CEO and CFO on creative funding models

This isn’t just infrastructure it’s enabling commercial growth through world‑class partnerships and bold strategies.

What we’re looking for:

  • Deep expertise in data centre design, construction, and operations (electrical, mechanical, cooling, IT infrastructure).
  • Strong technical knowledge of large‑scale AI/HPC deployments—power density, liquid cooling, high‑speed networking.
  • Proven track record in hyperscale strategy and investment roadmaps (multi‑GW programs).
  • Skilled in capacity planning, energy efficiency, sustainability, and resilience frameworks.
  • Experience structuring innovative commercial deals—partnerships, co‑investment, alternative financing.
  • Ability to source and secure large‑scale facilities (25MW+) through partnerships or development.
  • Managed multi‑million‑pound projects and complex vendor relationships at executive level.
  • Strategic thinker - you'll provide innovative solutions to complex technical and commercial challenges.
  • Influential leader - you'll align cross‑functional teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Strong business acumen - you can balance risk, return, and strategic goals.
  • Exceptional communication skills - you can translate technical and financial concepts for board‑level audiences.
  • Negotiation expertise in high‑stakes commercial discussions.

What you’ll get in return:

  • Extremely competitive Salary + share options (The client is committed to bringing in the best talent and are flexible on what an overall package would look like).
  • Advanced Pension Scheme
  • Unlimited Holiday Policy - Take the time you need to rest, recharge, and explore. We trust you to manage your time off responsibly.
  • Remote Working - Work from wherever you feel most productive, home, café, or co‑working space. We’re remote‑first and proud of it! But of course, given the physical nature of the role, there will be travel involved.
  • Tech & Cycle Scheme - Swap the commute for fresh air and smarter gear! This scheme helps employees save on bikes and tech essentials.
  • Enhanced Sick Pay - First 13 weeks = full pay, Next 13 weeks = half pay
