Prologis
Join to apply for the Director, Data Center Power Procurement role at Prologis.
At Prologis, we define the industry with a 1.3 billion square foot portfolio and an annual throughput of approximately $3.2 trillion. We create intelligent infrastructure that powers global commerce, connecting the digital and physical worlds. From agile supply chains to energy solutions, our ecosystems help businesses move faster, operate smarter, and grow sustainably.
A Day in the Life Prologis is committed to becoming a global leader in data center development by leveraging its extensive real‑estate assets, strategic utility relationships, and scalable infrastructure to meet increasing digital infrastructure demand. As Director of Data Center Power Procurement, you will lead strategic engagement with utilities and energy partners throughout North America to secure scalable, cost‑effective power solutions across multiple markets. You’ll collaborate closely with development, legal, and finance teams to evaluate interconnection pathways, negotiate special contracts, and support project planning from early‑stage feasibility through execution. Your work includes tracking regulatory developments, guiding infrastructure planning for data center campuses, and representing Prologis in discussions with utilities to enable large campus‑style deployments. This dynamic, cross‑functional role plays a critical part in positioning Prologis as a leader in data center development.
In addition to supporting greenfield development, you’ll be instrumental in identifying and advancing opportunities to convert Prologis’ existing real‑estate portfolio into high‑performance urban data center assets. This includes working with the broader energy and data center teams to assess power capacity, availability, and infrastructure readiness at strategically located buildings in major cities. From early‑stage screening through detailed execution planning, your insights and leadership will help transform existing assets into mission‑critical digital infrastructure.

Develop a multi‑year pipeline of data center projects by aligning Prologis’ real‑estate assets with grid power availability and fiber network access.
Assess the reliability and cost‑effectiveness of onsite temporary power solutions, such as fuel cells, gas turbines, catalyzers, and co‑location with new or existing generation assets to support timely power delivery.
Support data center development initiatives across Prologis’ existing building and land bank assets, as well as new site acquisitions, by evaluating infrastructure feasibility and aligning energy strategy with development goals.
Perform the necessary financial modelling to understand project economics.
Manage contractual relationships and coordinate with legal to assist with contract negotiations and resolve programmatic needs.
Support the marketing team in data center lease or sale transactions.

Follow key energy regulatory issues and assess the impact of potential technology and regulatory changes on existing projects and pipeline.
Work with utility regulators to develop policies and guidelines that enable broader Prologis strategies and objectives.
Required Experience
7+ years of electric utility experience in transmission planning, substation development/engineering, distribution system planning, and interconnection of large load projects.
Experience analyzing energy projects and negotiating interconnection agreements and related contracts with utilities and contractors.
Ability to travel up to 40% of the time.
Preferred Experience
Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline such as engineering, applied science, economics, or statistics.
Expertise with electric utility grid planning, operations, interconnections, substation development costs/timelines across key data center markets.
Experience successfully negotiating new tariff rates, power purchase agreements, and/or energy infrastructure contracts in regulatory regimes.
Proven ability to evaluate new energy markets, utility tariffs, policies, power contracts, or new energy sourcing opportunities and technologies.
