About the Company - Vantage is committed to being a workplace of inclusion, equity, respect and acceptance. We celebrate diversity and intentionally seek out opportunities to learn from one another’s experience. Vantage Data Centers is a leading global wholesale data center provider. Founded in 2010, Vantage has an unceasing commitment to provide major hyperscale, cloud and enterprise companies with reliable, efficient data center environments with outstanding service to help them achieve their business goals. We own and operate some of the most scalable data centers in the world with a meticulous focus on efficiency, operational excellence, reliability and sustainability. Vantage was founded on the principle that modern-day data center design should evolve in innovative ways that lead to dramatic gains in energy efficiency. Years later, we’re still leading that charge.

About the Role - The Development team is responsible for the entire process flow of delivering the physical data centers from shovel ready state through commissioning, working with Sales, Operations, and management along the way. The team also manages Vantage’s build partners to success through technical feedback and review, and actively participating in review of schedule and budget. Many times, a role like this at other companies is purely oversight. One thing that distinguishes Vantage is that our Development Teams are given the responsibility and authority to directly drive the process. When compared to external resources, our internal team can ensure the key stakeholders are engaged in the decision-making process to align long-term operational sustainability with value engineering and cost metrics to deliver products aligned with corporate goals. This approach empowers each member of the team to drive high-impact decisions and even more impactful results.
