Job Description EdgeConneX is seeking a Sr. S. project portfolio.

ECX has active development across the country, with particularly deep and growing activity in Texas — making in-market knowledge of the ERCOT landscape and Texas utility environment especially relevant for this hire. These are strategic and tactical roles in equal measure — the Sr. Manager owns the energy strategy for their assigned portfolio and is personally accountable for outcomes, while directing a bench of specialized consultants and contractors who provide day-to-day execution support.

This model is intentional: the Sr. Manager operates as an intelligent client and decision-maker — setting strategy, owning utility and regulatory relationships, driving contract development and negotiation, and directing contracted resources toward the right priorities. They are the ECX voice on energy for their portfolio, not a coordinator of others’ work.

This role currently operates as an individual contributor. As ECX’s pipeline matures, there is a clear path for the position to evolve into a team lead function with direct reports. This position should be based in Texas, with the ideal being based based in the greater Austin, TX area.

Generally, 40-50% travel is expected for this role given EdgeConneX's current trajectory.

Responsibilities

Regional Energy Strategy Ownership Serve as ECX’s authoritative voice on energy in the assigned sub-market — setting strategy, representing ECX with utilities and regulators, and making or informing all key energy decisions for the region. Develop and maintain a forward-looking regional energy strategy that accounts for grid conditions, utility capacity timelines, regulatory risk, and ECX’s site pipeline and customer commitments. Monitor regional grid conditions, utility IRP filings, capacity market signals, and competitive dynamics to identify emerging constraints and opportunities before they become problems.

Requirements

Contract Development & Negotiation Lead development and negotiation of energy-related contracts in region, including utility service agreements, large-load interconnection agreements, energy supply contracts, power purchase agreements, and rate schedule elections. Direct legal, consulting, and technical support resources through contract drafting and negotiation processes, maintaining clear ownership of ECX’s position and outcomes. Evaluate energy tariffs, utility rate structures, and special contract options to identify the optimal procurement and service structure for each ECX project.

Ensure contract terms, milestones, and obligations are tracked and managed through execution, escalating risks or deviations proactively.
