EdgeConneX is hiring a Sr. S. sub-market.

This is both a strategic and tactical role in equal measure — each Sr. Manager owns the regional energy strategy 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 regional 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 in their market, not a coordinator of others’ work. This role currently operates as an individual contributor.

As ECX’s regional pipelines mature, there is a clear path for this position to evolve into a team lead function with direct reports.

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. Utility Relationship & Regulatory Management Own and cultivate primary utility relationships in region — including T&D providers, generation interconnection staff, regulatory affairs contacts, and key grid operator personnel. ).
