Director, Data Center Energy Strategy (AI Infrastructure) Location: Remote (US-Based) | Type: Full-Time | Reports to: CEO Overview AI progress is increasingly constrained by energy. Data centers are being built faster than the grid can support, yet solar and storage represent the fastest, most cost-effective path forward if deployed correctly. We are recruiting a Director of Data Center Energy Strategy for a leading philanthropic foundation. This is not a traditional lobbying or design role. Instead, you will act as a "Framework Architect" - translating technical realities into the standards and narratives that will make solar-powered data centers the global default for AI compute. What You’ll Do (The Mission) - Define the Standard: Establish technical and operational frameworks for solar + storage, fire safety, and water usage in next-gen data centers. - Drive the Narrative: Reframe solar as critical infrastructure for national security and economic competitiveness. - Build the Coalition: Engage directly with Frontier AI labs, hyperscalers, and energy experts to move solar-first design from concept to pilot. - Navigate Siting: Work with federal and local authorities to define permitting pathways for industrial and public land (e.g., BLM). - Publish the Manifesto: Author and gain external validation for a "Data Center Manifesto" defining best practices for the industry.
