About Dataprana

Dataprana is a US digital infrastructure company headquartered in Miami, FL, specializing in data center development. With a 500 MW energized site pipeline across multiple U.S. states and an ambitious goal of 5 GW by 2030, we build mid-scale data centers optimized for speed-to-market deployment — faster and leaner than traditional developers.  Our focus: land and power acquisition, permitting, and rapid energization to meet explosive AI/GPUaaS demand.

About the Role

This is a player-coach role. You close your own deals and lead a small team of land acquisition associates. You will take day-to-day ownership of the pipeline the CEO currently manages — sourcing, negotiating, and closing powered land and site control agreements while coaching your team to do the same. 

Key Responsibilities

Deal Origination & Closing 

• Source, evaluate, negotiate, and close powered land and site control agreements across the U.S., with focus on Texas 
• Build and manage a personal pipeline from initial outreach through signed LOI and purchase agreement 
• Rapidly qualify sites based on power availability, zoning, and permitting pathways — and kill weak opportunities early 
• Coordinate with power and development teams to validate site assumptions before capital is committed 

Team Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and hold accountable a team of land acquisition associates on deal targets and pipeline activity 
• Run weekly deal reviews; provide hands-on guidance on offer structure, negotiation tactics, and go/no-go decisions 
• Earn a team production bonus tied to aggregate deals closed by your direct reports
• Grow the team over time by identifying and onboarding future land acquisition talent

Pipeline & Reporting

• Own pipeline tracking — keep deal status, timelines, and assumptions current and visible to leadership
• Establish a consistent deal qualification framework to focus team energy on high-probability opportunities 
• Deliver weekly pipeline reports to the leadership team

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• 5+ years in land acquisition, site selection, or powered land — with a personal track record of closing deals 
• Experience in data center development, energy infrastructure, or industrial real estate strongly preferred 
• Proven ability to lead or mentor others; high-potential candidates with strong instincts and ambition to grow into the role are welcome 
• Strong negotiator with landowners, brokers, utilities, and development partners 
• Able to evaluate site feasibility quickly — substation capacity, zoning, access, and entitlement timelines 
• Commission-driven and self-directed: you are energized by closing, not by a comfortable base 

Ideal Candidate 

• Background in brokerage, site selection, or development for data centers, utility-scale energy, or industrial real estate 
• Existing relationships with landowners, brokers, or utilities in Texas and other key U.S. markets 
• Deep familiarity with powered land: substation headroom, interconnection queue position, and what makes a site viable 
• Track record closing deals independently — not just as part of a large institutional team
• Candidates with their own firm or independent practice are welcome, provided they are committed to a long-term captive role 

Compensation

• Compensation: To be determined, commensurate with experience
• Unlimited PTO, subject to Company policy
• 6 days paid US holidays
• Professional training reimbursement

Location & Travel 

• Remote — Texas preferred; open to other U.S. locations 
• Moderate travel required for site visits, landowner meetings, and market coverage
