Regional Delivery Lead Data Centres

REGIONAL DELIVERY LEADS - EMEA AND NORTH AMERICA

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

WNTD is leading a confidential search on behalf of a new, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform, currently in stealth ahead of its public launch.

The business brings capital, powered land, data centres, compute and operations together under one founder led platform. It is backed by a multi billion dollar strategic partnership with one of the world's leading AI companies, alongside top tier venture investment and a dedicated infrastructure fund. The ambition is simple to say and enormous to build: make AI compute as dependable and available as electricity.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are appointing the first two Regional Delivery Leads, one for EMEA and one for North America. These are the founding delivery leadership roles in the business.

You will own delivery across your region, accountable for the safe, on time, on budget delivery of every project in your portfolio. You will lead through Project Delivery Managers, each running a complete team across design, procurement, construction, safety, quality, project controls and contracts.

This is ground floor territory. The playbook, the standards and the team are yours to help build, and the portfolio behind them is already forming.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Own end to end delivery of every project in your region, from design development through construction, commissioning and handover
• Lead, develop and grow your Project Delivery Managers and their teams
• Set the standard on safety and hold every project to it
• Drive schedule, cost, quality and risk across the regional portfolio with clear, honest reporting to global delivery leadership
• Build senior relationships with contractors, consultants, utilities and power providers, landlords and local authorities
• Shape hiring, standards and ways of working as the project count grows

WHAT YOU BRING

• Significant experience delivering large scale, technically complex construction programmes; data centre or other mission critical infrastructure strongly preferred
• A track record of running multiple concurrent projects through project managers, not just delivering one project directly
• Strong commercial grounding across contract models, procurement and change management
• Visible safety leadership and a strong record on quality
• For EMEA: delivery experience across multiple European countries. For North America: delivery experience across multiple US states and eligibility to work in the United States
• The appetite to build in a company that is still taking shape, and to travel regularly across your region

WHAT IS ON OFFER

• Competitive salary based on the work you will do here, not your salary history
• Retirement or pension contributions
• Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
• A generous holiday allowance
