About the role

ENGIE's Data Center Acceleration (DCA) team leads the Group's global strategy and commercial activities for the data center ecosystem—working with hyperscalers, colocators, development companies, and infrastructure partners. During this mission, you will help the team translate strategy into execution: tracking market movements and deal flow, shaping first‑cut (v0) commercial materials, supporting Steering Committees, and maintaining datasets and dashboards used for EXCOM and program reporting.

-Build and maintain a structured competitor landscape for hyperscalers, colocators, and infrastructure funds; monitor announcements and summarize implications for ENGIE.
-Maintain a living deal‑flow tracker across regions (Europe, US; additional geographies as relevant), capturing origination status, co‑siting prospects (i.e. powered land transactions), energy sales and management opportunities; ensure data quality and regular refresh.
-Conduct structured desk research on demand growth, siting patterns, permitting pathways, and decarbonization products in collaboration with third party
-Summarize insights into short memos and slide addenda with recommended next‑step actions for origination and program teams.
