[Hiring] Data Center Acquisition Manager @Vultr

Role Description

Vultr is seeking an Acquisitions Manager to run the deal line on our data center acquisition pipeline. You are the execution engine between a qualified site and a signed transaction:

• Engaging operators and landowners
• Driving non-binding LOIs
• Negotiating term sheets
• Carrying the commercial position through final documentation on standard transactions while the Director leads the largest deals

You will work across operator colocation leases, powered shells, lease-to-own structures, and powered land purchases in a portfolio moving toward a gigawatt of capacity, with real deals on your desk from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull qualified sites from proposal-ready inventory, engage operator and landowner counterparties, and establish deal cadence
• Drive non-binding LOIs covering rate, term, escalations, delivery milestones, and due diligence exclusivity
• Negotiate term sheets and final commercial terms on standard transactions; escalate the largest and most complex to the Director with a clear position
• Work operator deliverables through the deal: floor plans, one-line diagrams, ESA status, delivery schedules, and milestone commitments
• Convert diligence findings into negotiating leverage; hold the commercial position through redline cycles with the Contracts Coordination Manager and counsel
• Maintain back-to-back alignment between the site transaction and the customer contract: token date versus power-on, term versus term, ramp versus minimum obligations
• Manage multiple concurrent negotiations without dropping threads; keep tracker dispositions and deal records current
• Prepare gate inputs: deal term summaries, open commercial issues, and risk items with recommended positions
• Support clean handoff at signature with a complete executed commercial record

Qualifications

• 5-8 years of transaction execution in data center, commercial real estate, energy, or infrastructure: you have personally negotiated LOIs and term sheets, not only supported them
• Fluency in data center lease economics: rate structures, escalations, minimum obligations, delivery liquidated damages, expansion rights, and acceptance mechanics
• Track record of closing under deadline pressure while running multiple concurrent deals
• Strong term sheet drafting instincts and comfort working redlines with counsel
• Working command of deal economics in Excel: rate comparisons, NPV of term structures, obligation exposure
• Bachelor's degree required

Preferred Experience

• Data center operator or neocloud corporate development; brokerage capital markets or tenant representation; hyperscaler leasing or site acquisition
• Exposure to power delivery terms and energy services agreements in lease negotiations

Compensation

$190,000 - $215,000. Final compensation will vary depending on years of experience, background/skill set, location, and applicable laws.
