## Job description

**Company Overview:**

Radiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.

We design and operate AI-native cloud platforms engineered for sovereignty, performance, and scale. Our infrastructure powers GPU-native workloads, multi-tenant control planes, and high-performance AI systems designed for the most demanding environments.

We are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure — from powered land, to compute, to software.

As we scale, we're building this organisation from the ground up. We're looking for people who'd rather build the playbook than inherit one — who are comfortable doing the work themselves as well as directing others, and who can adapt as fast as our strategy does. This is a startup model: attitude and adaptability matter more to us than years of experience or the size of team you've previously managed.

This is a cross-functional role requiring strong technical, commercial, and delivery capabilities, with exposure to executive stakeholders and GCs, EPCs, utilities, ISOs/RTOs and local/state authorities in Radiant's first US market.

**What You'll Do**

You'll own delivery of Radiant's first US project end to end, building the US region from the ground up, this is a founding role for the US business, not a caretaker seat.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Delivery Leadership**

* Personally run the GC/EPC relationship and day-to-day delivery of the live US project.
* Build the US planning/permitting and stakeholder relationships from scratch state and county entitlement processes, utility filings, incentive negotiations.

**Team build**

* Recruit the Project Director and site team as the project demands it, while remaining the most senior hands-on presence on-site in year one.

**Portfolio coordination**

* Sit on the monthly portfolio review with the CDO and flag resourcing conflicts (e.g. shared commissioning engineers) directly.

**What You Bring:**

* Attitude matters more to us here than number of years of experience.
* Experience delivering data centre, energy or large infrastructure projects in the US.
* Comfort being the first and only Radiant leader on the ground in a new region.
* Working knowledge of US utility, ISO/RTO and state entitlement processes.
* We're hiring for founding energy and adaptability, not a large team you've historically managed.
* Deep, first-hand knowledge of the US data centre market.
* Strong existing supply chain relationships — beyond GCs and EPCs — to help Radiant secure the best partners as the US region scales.
* East Coast preferred for time zone crossover with the London HQ team, though candidates from anywhere in the US will be considered.

**Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):**

* Existing relationships with US GCs, EPCs, utilities or colocation operators.
* Experience across multiple US states' entitlement/incentive regimes.
* Experience standing up a new region or market for a scaling company.

**Qualities we look for:**

* **Set the standard:** Every single day, you spot opportunities to constructively shake things up.
* **Inspire the change:** There's no blueprint for the future. You'll embrace challenges and change.
* **You're real and you're true to yourself:** We cherish and celebrate diversity so you'll feel right at home whoever you are and whoever you're talking to, you treat everyone the same.
* **Get stuck in:** You'd rather be building than overseeing. Our strategy will keep evolving, and so will you — attitude and adaptability matter more to us than a fixed playbook or a big team behind you.
