About the Role
The Project Manager (Pre Lease) leads and integrates data centre transactions from site identification through lease execution, acting as the client's representative. This role coordinates technical, commercial, legal, and delivery stakeholders to ensure informed decision-making, effective risk management, and successful transaction outcomes. It serves as the primary integrator for due diligence activities, challenging proposals, validating assumptions, and translating complex findings into clear recommendations. The role drives transaction schedules, manages stakeholder engagement, and ensures all requirements and risks are captured for delivery post-lease execution. This is a front-end transaction and advisory role, not a construction delivery position.
Responsibilities
- Lead assigned data centre transactions from site identification through lease execution, managing all associated actions, milestones, and stakeholders.
- Act as the central point of coordination across all workstreams to ensure alignment and timely decision making.
- Manage the end-to-end due diligence process, including site, utility, infrastructure, environmental, planning, permitting, and developer assessments.
- Assess power, water, cooling, connectivity, and other critical infrastructure requirements to determine site suitability and identify material risks.
- Challenge developer proposals, technical assumptions, and delivery commitments, validating claims through evidence and independent assessment.
- Compare proposed solutions against client standards and requirements, identifying gaps, risks, and mitigation measures.
- Develop structured site and developer appraisals with clear recommendations to support investment, leasing, and transaction decisions.
- Maintain transaction risk registers, action trackers, decision logs, and document controls, ensuring issues are identified and escalated in a timely manner.
- Coordinate technical, commercial, and programme inputs into lease negotiations, technical schedules, performance requirements, and contractual commitments.
- Manage engagement with developers, consultants, and client stakeholders, driving accountability and resolution of outstanding actions.
- Prepare regular transaction status updates, risk reports, and decision papers for programme and client leadership.
- Drive transaction schedules and critical path activities to maintain momentum across multiple concurrent opportunities.
- Prepare and own the lease handover package, ensuring all requirements, assumptions, commitments, risks, and obligations are clearly communicated to downstream delivery teams.
Requirements
- Proven project management experience on data centre, mission-critical, or complex real estate transactions.
- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary due diligence under deal pressure.
- Rigorous document and tracker discipline.
- Confident stakeholder management across client, developer, and internal teams.
- Strong written English.
- Local language capability is a significant advantage.
- Willingness to travel in-market to sites as deals require.
