The Contracts Manager will own Volta's contracting strategy across its entire fleet of data center and capital projects. This is a central functional leadership role responsible for setting contracting standards, models, and commercial terms used across every project globally.
Key responsibilities include: developing and implementing Volta's contracting strategy for general contractors, package agreements, and vendor relationships; establishing standard contract forms, flow-downs, and commercial terms across the fleet; leading major negotiations alongside procurement and project leadership; providing functional leadership to contracts leads embedded in each project team; building claims avoidance practices and managing disputes; running commercial governance, delegations, and approvals across projects; ensuring contracting standards remain compliant across multiple jurisdictions; and training and developing commercial capability across the delivery organization.
The ideal candidate brings contracts leadership experience on data center or major capital projects, deep knowledge of construction contracting models and standard forms across international markets, a strong track record in negotiation and claims management on complex builds, experience working across multiple jurisdictions, sound commercial judgment under delivery pressure, credibility to lead functionally across embedded teams, and willingness to travel to sites. This role requires someone who can set strategy while also being hands-on in major negotiations and dispute resolution.
