Position Overview

The position is a high-impact, execution-oriented role within Tract Capital's Project Development team, a subset of the Investments & Strategy team that holds end-to-end responsibility for Tract Capital's data center assets. The Vice President will be a core execution member of this team, driving active progress across large-scale data center development projects throughout their full lifecycle, from site acquisition or joint venture through master planning, entitlements, permitting, leasing, development, power, construction, equipment procurement, financing, and ultimately the disposition of those assets.

The Vice President works closely alongside senior members of the organization, operates with direct visibility into firm-level investment decisions, and engages a broad network of internal functions and external project partners.
