About Nscale

Nscale is taking on the hyperscalers by building a vertically integrated GenAI cloud platform. We own the data centres, software and applications that power today's AI stack using sustainable technology solutions. We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Collaboration is key, and we work together swiftly and respectfully, embracing adaptability and resilience in all we do.

About the Role

This role will report directly to the VP of Strategy & Corporate Development and work closely with Nscale’s CEO, CFO, and Commercial teams. As a key member of the Strategy & Corporate Development team at Nscale, you’ll play a key role in executing on our mission to build Europe’s hyperscaler, purpose-built for AI. You’ll help drive high-impact initiatives — from supporting capital raising processes and executing M&A, to driving strategic partnerships and unlocking commercial growth opportunities — with direct exposure to executive-level decisions. This is a rare opportunity to help define how sovereign AI infrastructure is developed across Europe.

The ideal candidate has a background in strategy, M&A, or investment banking with strong experience in cloud and digital infrastructure. You are an ambitious self-starter that thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic, and collaborative environment and are comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.

• Monitor industry trends, market dynamics, and the evolving competitive landscape, to enhance and refine Nscale’s value proposition and GTM strategy
• Take ownership of key workstreams and manage junior team members to deliver high-quality, structured outputs across strategic projects

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Strategy, M&A, Corporate Development, Management Consulting, or Investment Banking
• Extensive experience leading end-to-end workstreams with a high degree of ownership, including managing junior team members to deliver high-quality outputs under tight deadlines
• Strong understanding of the data centre and digital infrastructure markets; knowledge of GPUaaS (as-a-Service) or AI infrastructure is a bonus
• Track record of working on M&A transactions, strategic investments, and/or strategic partnerships
• Excellent PowerPoint and Excel skills; able to independently build clear, executive-ready outputs
• A structured thinker and strong communicator who excels at simplifying complex issues
• Detail-oriented and rigorous; holds themselves to high standards in both thinking and execution

Ways to Stand Out

• Prior experience in the data centre or AI infrastructure sectors
• A strong point of view on how the European data centre market will evolve in a GPU-driven future
• Experience working with or advising hyperscalers, cloud providers, or AI startups
• Experience supporting or leading investor / fundraising processes in a fast-scaling business
• Clear evidence of developing talent and driving high-quality outcomes
