We aggregate compute across 30+ cloud providers through a single API and dashboard, so teams can find, deploy, and manage GPUs wherever capacity is available and affordable.\nWe're a YC-backed company (S23) that is on track to surpass $100M in revenue this year. We're a small team of around 15 people building one of the most important layers of AI infrastructure.\nAbout the Role\nAs demand for GPUs outpaces supply, the most engaging part of our business is finding and developing capacity. We source it by going deeper into the market than anyone else: working directly with data center operators, developers, and neo-clouds, and helping them clear the barriers that keep them from scaling.\nAs our Colocation & Data Center Manager, you'll work alongside our supply lead to build out the colocation and powered land side of that program. The role is part business development and part account management. You'll source new capacity, build long-term relationships with the operators who hold it, and help them solve the power, space, and capital constraints that limit their growth.\nThis is primarily a supply sourcing and account-management role, with occasional direct engagement on the demand side when it helps close a deal.\nWhat You'll Do\nSource colocation and powered land capacity\nRun outbound to smaller and mid-tier data center operators, developers, and neo-clouds.\n\nQualify opportunities on the factors that matter: power quota, colocation space, capital readiness, zoning and regulatory status, pricing, and timeline.\n\nHelp operators clear the barriers to scale - often power, space, or capital. You'll help them solve it, or connect them with partners who can.\n\nManage and grow supplier relationships\nOwn recurring touch points across the supplier base, on a weekly or biweekly cadence depending on the account.\n\nTrack capacity as it comes online, plan against it, and capture it for Shadeform's customers.\n\nBecome the first call operators make when they have capacity to move or need help expanding it.\n\nSupport demand when it matters\nStep in alongside the supply lead and sales team on demand-side conversations when your relationships or expertise help move a deal forward.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n3+ years (5+ preferred) in business development, site selection, supply, capacity, or account management within data centers, colocation, powered land, or cloud infrastructure.\n\nA track record of building and owning long-term commercial relationships, not one-off transactions.\n\nExperience qualifying capacity or deals across power, colocation space, capital readiness, zoning and regulatory, pricing, and timeline.\n\nComfort operating in a new, fast-moving function where you'll build process as you go.\n\nWillingness to travel occasionally to suppliers and sites.\n\nNice to Have\nDirect experience on the colocation and/or powered land side of the market.\n\nProject finance or project development experience involving colocation facilities, data centers, or GPU cluster deployments.\n\nFamiliarity with power generation, transmission, or utility infrastructure.\n\nExperience at a neo-cloud, data center developer or operator, hardware OEM (server, storage, or networking), energy or power developer, utility infrastructure firm, or a commercial real estate data center and industrial team.\n\nAn existing network of operators, developers, or capacity partners.\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive base salary, performance-based variable compensation, and meaningful equity in a profitable, fast-growing company.\n\nA remote-first team that works across the US and EU.\n\nThe chance to build a brand-new function and own one of the most strategic areas of our business as it scales.\n\nComprehensive health benefits and flexible time off.\n\nEqual Opportunity\nShadeform is an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to building a diverse team and welcome applicants of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nTo apply, submit your resume through our careers page and we'll be in touch.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4168,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T20:23:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.114,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":136,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T22:20:58Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/shadeform-colocation-data-center-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/shadeform-colocation-data-center-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T22:20:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":44589,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173591},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173591"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fshadeform-colocation-data-center-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fshadeform-colocation-data-center-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fshadeform-colocation-data-center-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/shadeform-colocation-data-center-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fshadeform-colocation-data-center-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4280370}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"shadeform.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4280370},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
