Verda is expanding its physical infrastructure footprint and we are bringing new data centre capacity online through colocation facilities, third-party partnerships, and strategic agreements across Spain. Every new site we open starts with someone finding it, qualifying it, contracting it, and getting it ready to receive hardware.
That person is you.
We are looking for a Data Centre Expansion Manager (Spain) to own the end-to-end process of identifying and delivering new colocation and data centre capacity within the Spanish market. This is a focused, commercially and technically intensive role. You will spend significant time reviewing inbound site proposals and opportunities, conducting due diligence on colocation providers, and driving procurement processes to close.
What You Will Do
- Lead and oversee the identification, evaluation, and development of data centre and infrastructure expansion opportunities in Spain.
- Review incoming site proposals and colocation opportunities assessing power infrastructure, cooling systems, fibre connectivity, redundancy architecture, rack density, and physical security.
- Negotiate, structure, and manage commercial agreements, colocation leases, partnerships, and vendor contracts on behalf of the Company.
- Represent the Company in dealings with local authorities, regulatory bodies, utilities, and third-party stakeholders as required.
- Own the tendering and procurement process for new Spain capacity: RFI/RFP preparation, vendor shortlisting, commercial negotiation, and contract execution.
- Manage project budgets, financial models, and investment cases related to Spanish expansion activities.
- Ensure all expansion activities comply with applicable Spanish laws, regulations, and Company policies.
- Coordinate internal and external workstreams (Construction, DC Operations, Hardware, Procurement, Legal) to deliver expansion projects on time and within budget.
- Provide regular reporting to senior management on project status, risks, and material developments.
- Build and maintain a live pipeline of evaluated and pre-qualified Spanish sites so Verda is never reacting to capacity needs reactively.
- Support the establishment and ongoing governance of the Company's operational presence in Spain.
- 5+ years in data centre capacity acquisition, colocation procurement, or infrastructure real estate with hands-on Spanish market experience.
- Strong technical foundation: ability to assess a facility's power and cooling infrastructure, identify gaps, and know what questions to ask when something does not add up.
- Direct experience reviewing and evaluating inbound colocation proposals and shortlisting processes.
- Proven track record running RFI/RFP processes, commercial evaluation, and supplier negotiation.
- Comfortable reviewing and negotiating colocation and power contracts without needing Legal to explain every clause.
- Willingness and ability to travel frequently to sites across Spain.
- Experience evaluating high-density GPU or HPC facilities — understanding of 140kW+ per rack power requirements, liquid cooling readiness, and InfiniBand-compatible infrastructure.
- Existing relationships with major Spanish colocation operators and capacity brokers.
- Familiarity with Spanish power markets — grid connection processes, substation capacity timelines, and renewable energy sourcing.
- Experience closing multiple simultaneous deals from technical evaluation through to contract execution.
