Responsible Ownership
We take responsibility for outcomes — not just tasks — and follow through from idea to execution.
Work on Infrastructure that Actually Gets Built
We work at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and technology — solving real constraints, not theoretical problems.

You will lead the acquisition of strategically aligned, power‑ and fiber‑ready sites to accelerate the growth of Krios’ data center portfolio, orchestrating a cross‑functional group of technical, legal, financial, and development stakeholders.
This is a high‑impact leadership role suited to a commercially astute real estate professional who operates effectively in complex, fast‑moving markets, executes multiple high‑value transactions in parallel, and is motivated by the scale, strategic significance, and opportunity to shape the future delivery of digital infrastructure.
Working at Krios Infrastructure
At Krios, you will find a high-trust, low-ego environment where expertise is valued and ideas travel fast. We believe diverse perspectives create stronger outcomes, and we are committed to building balanced, inclusive teams.
This role offers significant visibility and influence, with real ownership of how Krios’ energy strategy evolves as we scale across Europe. If you want to help define the future of energy-enabled digital infrastructure—and do it alongside driven, experienced peers—we would love to hear from you.
What you will do:
- Lead the development and execution of Krios´ land acquisition strategy across EMEA, securing strategically aligned, power- and fiber-ready sites to enable long-term cloud and data center growth.
- Direct the origination, structuring, negotiation, and execution of complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions, options, phased investments, and development partnerships.
- Oversee portfolio performance at a regional level, managing pipeline strength, deal velocity, risk exposure, and site readiness to ensure consistent and predictable delivery.
- Define and shape market strategies, aligning land acquisition priorities with business demand, infrastructure constraints and regulatory landscapes.
- Ensure all transactions are rigorously aligned with Krios´ financial frameworks, legal standards, operational requirements, and sustainability commitments.
- Provide executive oversight of due diligence and risk management, ensuring comprehensive evaluation and proactive mitigation of zoning, entitlement, regulatory, technical, and commercial risks.
- Cultivate and maintain senior-level relationships with landowners, developers, brokers, utilities, and government stakeholders, positioning Krios as a trusted, long-term infrastructure partner.
- Represent Krios externally in key negotiations, market engagements, and industry forums, enhancing the company´s reputation and access across priority markets.
- Translate strategic land positions into executable development pathways, ensuring full alignment across technical feasibility, commercial viability, and community considerations.
- Establish and embed best-in-class processes, governance frameworks, and standards for land acquisition across the EMEA portfolio, ensuring scalability and operational excellence.
Role requirements:
- 15-20 years of experience in real estate acquisitions, land strategy, or large-scale infrastructure development; data center experience is a strong advantage.
- Demonstrated success in sourcing and negotiating high-value, complex real estate transactions across multiple jurisdictions.
- Bachelor´s degree in real estate, law, business, or related field.
- Strong communications skills and the ability to translate technical complexity into clear strategic and commercial insights.
- A high level of ownership and autonomy, combined with a pragmatic, innovative mindset.
- Fluency in English; additional European languages are a plus.

Role description:
Grid access is the defining constraint of the European data centre build-out. Everyone in the market knows this but very few organisations actually understand the grid well enough to act on it. That gap is what this role exists to close.
The core challenge is that information on capacity availability on the grid for large loads is scarce in Europe. This means it has to be built up from fragmented, indirect sources: network development plans, generation and demand data, connection queues, substation records, and regulatory publications. Turning that into a clear, usable picture of where large loads can connect across multiple European markets is what this role is about.
You will not be doing this alone. The Krios team brings deep market knowledge, origination experience, and direct relationships with grid operators and regulators across our target countries. Your role is to bring the analytical structure and technical toolkit that turns that collective knowledge into something systematic and repeatable.
Working at Krios Infrastructure:
At Krios, you’ll find a high trust, low ego environment where expertise is valued and responsibility comes early. We believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes and are committed to building balanced, inclusive teams.
This role offers genuine ownership from day one. You will work directly with senior leadership across origination, investment, and development, and what you produce will have a direct bearing on where we deploy capital.
What you will do:
Own the Grid Data
Build and maintain a live picture of grid conditions across our target markets by drawing on TSO and DSO portals, ENTSO-E reports, regulatory publications, and planning registers. You will work closely with our GIS Expert to feed grid intelligence into the shared geospatial platform and collaborate with the wider team on structuring and automating data flows. The goal is analysis that non-engineers can use directly to make siting and investment decisions.
Model and assess
Using open-source tools (PyPSA, pandapower), you will run country-level load flow analysis for focused countries to map available capacity across transmission network zones. The goal is to identify where the network can host large load connections before we commit to a site, giving the origination team a clear, evidence-based picture of where to focus.
Understand the grid (current and future)
The key questions are where grid capacity is available, what is coming, and whether now is the right moment. That means substation-level analysis alongside a clear read of TSO and DSO investment plans and what they mean for connection opportunities and reliability over the next few years. Generation and demand dynamics matter too: where load growth is supported, where curtailment is chronic, and where large new connections are operationally welcome.
Role requirements:
- Master’s degree in electrical engineering, power systems, energy engineering, or a related field
- 3-5 years of experience in power systems analysis, grid planning, or energy market intelligence at a TSO, DSO, developer, consultancy, or research institution
- Solid working knowledge of European grid infrastructure, connection processes, and energy markets across at least two European countries
- Hands-on experience with PyPSA, pandapower, or a comparable open-source power systems tool; proficient in Python for analysis and pipeline work
- Strong data skills: able to build clean, reproducible datasets from messy primary sources and keep them current
- Clear communicator: comfortable writing for and presenting to non-technical audiences
- Fluent English; the team and our counterparties span multiple countries
Nice to have
- Experience with commercial power systems tools such as Power Factory or PSS/E
- Familiarity with ENTSO-E datasets, TSO open data APIs, or grid topology work using OpenStreetMap-derived sources
- Direct experience with connection applications, grid impact studies, or capacity reservation processes in Europe
- Background in or exposure to data centre infrastructure, hyperscale power requirements, or infrastructure investment
- An additional European language
- Familiarity with connection access frameworks, queue mechanisms, and evolving grid connection policy across European markets
