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.

This is a rare opportunity to help define how sovereign AI infrastructure is developed across Europe.

• 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

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
