We are looking for a Site Selection & Inventory Manager! NVIDIA's data centers host ground-breaking products across high-performance computing to machine learning applications for autonomous vehicles and healthcare. At the heart of our data centers is the ability to engineer coordinated system designs in close coupling to NVIDIA's industry-leading GPU products.
We are seeking an expert Site Selection & Inventory Manager to own and maintain a global inventory of data center capacity. This role requires deep industry relationships, strong technical understanding of data center infrastructure, and proven track record to critically assess market availability versus realistic delivery schedules. The ideal candidate will lead the partnership between finance, construction, and strategic planning—ensuring that site selection and capacity tracking directly align with company demand.
What you’ll be doing:
Build, maintain, and continually update a comprehensive inventory of data center supply and available capacity worldwide.
Differentiate between marketing timelines and achievable project schedules; assess rack-ready dates versus powered land delivery.
Distinguish between incremental available capacity versus cumulative MW leased or reserved, identifying true near-term options.
Leverage relationships and partner with colocation developers, operators, and brokers to secure early insight into market opportunities.
Partner with finance, construction, and operations teams to validate capacity options, assess risk, and ensure economic and technical fit.
Evaluate infrastructure, permitting, and construction timelines to separate viable opportunities from speculative offerings.
Provide insights into long-term supply trends and recommend strategies to secure capacity aligned with growth.
What we need to see:
15+ years of progressive experience in the data center industry, with significant exposure to colocation providers, developers, and brokers.
BS and/or MS in Electrical Engineering with a PE License (or equivalent experience)
Established network of industry contacts across Tier 1 and Tier 2 colocation providers.
Solid understanding of data center design, construction, and infrastructure timelines.
Proven track record of evaluating project feasibility and differentiating between speculative capacity and industry commitments.
Strong analytical and financial competence with ability to bridge technical site readiness with business decision-making.
Excellent communication and relationship skills to align partners across technical and commercial teams.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Prior experience maintaining or building capacity tracking systems/databases.
Exposure to lease negotiations, power procurement, and permitting processes.
Ability to “connect the dots” across finance, construction, operations, and executive leadership
