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.

Key Responsabilities

1) Market Intelligence : Competitor watch & deal‑flow Tracking

-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.

2) Commercial strategy and support

4) Reporting : data, dashboard & target setting

-Keep the central dataset up to date (pipeline, milestones, risks, decision log)
-Produce and iterate dashboards that track progress against global targets, highlighting variances and corrective actions.
-Support the establishment of common pipeline tracking and basic quality control across priority regions.

Expected Outcomes / KPIs

On‑time delivery of SteerCo packs and v0 decks; minimal rework cycles.
Accuracy and freshness of the pipeline dataset and dashboards (weekly refresh; zero critical inconsistencies).
Action tracking: closure rate of SteerCo actions by due date (US/EU).
Insight quality: number of competitor/trend briefs that inform prioritization and origination next steps.
