The role is client facing and transaction based and will involve leading the sourcing and acquisition of data centre  real estate on behalf of a wide range of global corporate, technology and telecommunications  clients across the EMEA region.  The data centre sector itself is one of the fastest growing real estate sectors globally, which is exciting, dynamic and fast-moving and provides team members with opportunities to develop new business skills in addition to those of the traditional real estate industry.

This role also requires someone who understands and appreciates the importance of using discretion with important company information.
