Key Responsibilities:
- Pioneering New Horizons: Spearhead initiatives to crack open new markets across APAC, forging strategic partnerships, executing game-changing acquisitions, and delivering innovative, infrastructure-led solutions that set new industry benchmarks.
- Driving Transformative Deals: Originate and close highly complex real estate and transactional agreements – think acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic alliances – that dramatically accelerate company's hyperscale growth.
- Shaping the Landscape: Lead high-stakes negotiations with developers, government bodies, and institutional giants to secure prime site options, critical infrastructure, essential regulatory approvals, and lucrative incentives.
- Strategizing for Scale: Design and deploy agile, long-term growth strategies, expertly balancing speed-to-market with uncompromised scalability, robust risk mitigation, and unwavering sustainability.
- Mastering Due Diligence: Direct exhaustive due diligence and feasibility studies, orchestrating multidisciplinary teams to ensure every technical, financial, and regulatory aspect is rigorously evaluated.
- Championing Investment: Craft persuasive business cases and guide critical investment approval processes, delivering executive-level presentations that secure buy-in for our bold ventures.
- Fostering Collaboration: Seamlessly integrate with master planning, development, and investment teams, ensuring every site acquisition aligns perfectly with our delivery timelines and customer demands.
- Empowering the Future: Mentor and develop rising talent within your team, cultivating a culture of knowledge transfer and building a powerhouse of capability for the company's continued ascent.
- Anticipating Tomorrow: Keep your finger on the pulse of industry trends and regulatory shifts, providing crucial strategic insights and advising leadership on emerging opportunities across the dynamic APAC markets.

Key Requirements:
:- 10+ years of relentless experience leading high-stakes negotiations or business development, preferably within the real estate or infrastructure sectors, with an extra edge if it's in a hyperscale environment.
- Demonstrated mastery in site selection & acquisition, real estate development/project management, and building impactful partnerships.
- An advantage (but not essential) if you’ve navigated complex agreements such as economic incentives, colocation agreements, utility agreements, and construction contracts.
- Exceptional quantitative and financial modeling skills will be a significant advantage.
- Unparalleled communication and influencing abilities that can sway stakeholders at all levels.
- Deep familiarity with APAC real estate markets and their intricate regulatory frameworks.
- The agility to thrive in a fast-paced matrix organization, adapting quickly, and fostering an open, genuinely collaborative workplace.
