开发负责人
Development Lead
关于团队
OpenAI 正在构建全球最先进的 AI 基础设施生态系统。Site Readiness & Development 团队负责将有电力供应的地块机会转化为可执行的基础设施方案所需的前期尽职调查和开发工作。
关于职位
开发负责人负责在地块通过初步筛选后的开发路径。该职位验证可行的电力路径，将地块限制转化为建筑级别的部署计划，明确每个建筑可以部署的时间，并推动分阶段的行动清单，以解决决策、依赖关系和证据缺口，使地块具备可控性和可执行性。
主要职责
- 从独家协议和商业条款开始，负责整个阶段门控流程，包括桌面尽职调查、确认性尽职调查、地块成交以及移交至设计、施工和运营。
- 与电力和公用事业合作伙伴验证电力路径，包括服务选项、连接和交付顺序、准备度假设、时间表风险、成本影响和决策点。
- 将每个开发阶段转化为有明确负责人、截止日期、关闭标准、待补充证据和升级路径的纪律性行动清单；推动清单完成，而不仅仅是报告状态。
- 将电力、土地、土木、环境、通行、许可和审批限制转化为建筑级别的部署计划，明确每个建筑的顺序和目标部署时间。
- 与商业、法律、财务、电力、土地和其他合作团队协调地块准入、独家权、意向书、商业条款、融资假设和成交要求。
- 定义桌面尽职调查范围、预期的15-30天交付成果和是否继续的标准；然后管理90-120天的确认性尽职调查计划。
- 设定并跟踪通道权、场外改善、井和管道定位、环境研究、水井测试、地质技术报告、额外土地、激励措施和其他特定地块的工作流的 ECD（关键决策点）。
- 规划和管理尽职调查供应商和顾问，确保他们的产出与决策、时间表、成本、行动清单关闭和剩余风险相关联。
- 维护集成开发时间表、预算影响、依赖关系跟踪器、风险登记册、缓解计划和高管升级频率。
- 提供高管可用的提前、推迟或停止建议，并准备就绪包以过渡到设计和施工。

About the Team
OpenAI is building the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Site Readiness & Development team owns the upstream diligence and development work required to convert powered-land opportunities into executable infrastructure options.
About the Role
The Development Lead owns the development path after a site clears initial screening. This role validates the viable power pathway, turns site constraints into a building-level deployment plan that makes clear when each building can deploy, and runs the phase-by-phase action list that closes the decisions, dependencies, and evidence gaps needed to make a site controllable and executable.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the stage-gate path from exclusivity and commercial terms through desktop diligence, confirmatory diligence, site closing, and handoff into design, construction, and operations.
- Validate power pathways with Power and utility partners, including service options, interconnection and delivery sequencing, readiness assumptions, schedule exposure, cost implications, and decision points.
- Turn each development phase into a disciplined action list with owners, deadlines, closure criteria, open evidence, and escalation paths; drive the list to closure rather than simply reporting status.
- Translate power, land, civil, environmental, access, entitlement, and permitting constraints into a building-level deployment plan with clear sequencing and target deployment timing for each building.
- Coordinate site access, exclusivity, LOI, commercial terms, financing assumptions, and closing requirements with Commercial, Legal, Finance, Power, Land, and other partner teams.
- Define the desktop diligence scope, expected 15–30 day deliverables, and go / no-go criteria; then govern the 90–120 day confirmatory diligence plan.
- Set and track ECDs for easements, offsite improvements, well and pipeline locating, environmental studies, water-well testing, geotechnical reports, additional land, incentives, and other site-specific workstreams.
- Scope and manage diligence vendors and consultants, keeping their outputs tied to decisions, schedule, cost, action-list closure, and residual risk.
- Maintain the integrated development schedule, budget implications, dependency tracker, risk register, mitigation plan, and executive escalation cadence.
- Deliver executive-ready advance, defer, or stop recommendations and prepare the readiness package for transition into design, construction, and operations.
Qualifications
- 6+ years in land development, infrastructure development, data center development, energy-project development, electrical, mechanical, civil or environmental engineering, or related project delivery.
- Experience advancing large-scale facility programs through early planning, power validation, phased development, site closing, and readiness handoff.
- Strong ability to evaluate power pathways and translate utility, interconnection, and delivery findings into schedule, cost, and deployment implications.
- Highly organized operator who can convert ambiguous diligence into owner-based action lists, closure criteria, critical paths, and executive decisions.
