The ideal candidate has 10+ years of experience in data center sales or leasing, deep knowledge of data center operations, and proven experience building and leading sales teams.

Why join Giga
What You'll Do
The AI infrastructure buildout is one of the most consequential capital deployment cycles of our generation — and Giga is at the center of it. Giga designs and manufactures AI power infrastructure at industry-best lead times, with 4.5 GW delivered to date. We offer complete product lines of cooling solutions, transformers, and switchboards tailored for high-density GPU clusters, end-to-end site origination and development, and a fully managed hosting model that lets customers scale GPU clusters without carrying the full development or construction burden. We do it all in-house — engineering, manufacturing, construction — out of our Long Beach, CA and Houston, TX factory footprints, with faster lead times and predictable pricing that reduces supply-chain risk for large, time-sensitive AI builds.
As Director of Business Development, AI Data Centers, you will own and execute Giga's strategy to become the preferred AI infrastructure, site development, and colocation partner for the world's largest hyperscalers, GPU cloud providers, and enterprise AI operators. This is not a relationship management role — it is a market-making role. You will bring Giga's full platform to market: from turnkey, rack-ready sites with direct fiber and on-site power, to $/kW-month hosting models tailored to site characteristics, to prefabricated modular deployments purpose-built for high-density compute. You will build and lead a team of elite business development managers, develop the commercial frameworks that underpin every deal, and close landmark agreements that position Giga as the infrastructure backbone of the AI era. If you thrive at the intersection of complex enterprise sales, infrastructure strategy, and emerging technology — and want to build something that didn't exist before — this is the role for you.
Where You'll Work
We move fast because we're building real infrastructure — and the best work happens when people are in the room together. This role is open to remote or in-office, with one caveat: if you're within 45 minutes of our Houston or San Francisco offices, we expect you to be there regularly. Wherever you're based, travel is part of the job — think customer sites, cross-functional sessions at our hubs, and industry events. If you thrive in motion and understand that showing up drives results, you'll fit right in.

You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
