Chief Technical Officer – European Data Centre Platform
London-based (with European scope)
A new, well-capitalised data centre platform is being built to shape the next generation of European digital infrastructure, and we’re looking for a visionary Chief Technical Officer to join the founding leadership team.
This is a rare opportunity to help design, build, and deliver a hyperscale-ready platform from the ground up. Backed by significant institutional investment, the business will develop and convert industrial facilities and zoned land into scalable data centre campuses that serve the cloud and AI ecosystem across Europe.
The platform is fast-moving and entrepreneurial. Designed for leaders who combine technical depth with creativity, agility, and execution power.
The Role
As Chief Technical Officer, you’ll define the technical vision, design standards, and delivery strategy for a pan-European data centre platform.
You will:
* Lead the design and engineering of hyperscale-ready and AI-optimised facilities.
* Work directly with hyperscale, AI, and enterprise customers to co-create solutions that match their capacity, latency, and sustainability needs.
* Drive innovation around GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and high-performance compute infrastructure.
* Oversee technical due diligence, delivery, and operational readiness across multiple geographies.
* Build a high-performing technical team and embed a culture of excellence, agility, and accountability.
* Play a central role in strategy formation, working alongside commercial and investment leaders to define the platform’s long-term direction.
About You
You’ll bring:
* Deep technical expertise in data centre design, engineering, and delivery, ideally with hyperscale or AI workloads.
* Proven experience engaging with customers to design bespoke infrastructure solutions.
* Strong knowledge of power, cooling, sustainability, and emerging technologies in compute and capacity delivery.
* Exposure to GPUaaS or high-performance compute platforms is a strong advantage.
* Experience working across multiple European markets.
* The energy, adaptability, and commercial awareness needed to succeed in a fast-moving, scale-up environment.
* A hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset - excited by the challenge of building something transformative.
The Opportunity
This is your chance to be part of the founding team of a new platform that combines institutional scale with entrepreneurial agility. You’ll help shape the technical and operational DNA of a business built for the AI era - one that bridges the gap between traditional real estate and advanced compute capability.
If you’re ready to take on a role where you can set the technical vision, build a platform, and help redefine Europe’s digital infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.
