About Legacy Investing

Legacy Investing is a data center development firm operating at the intersection of infrastructure, capital, and long-term value creation. We develop, position, and advance high-impact projects across multiple platforms and markets. As we grow, we are building a team that reflects the depth, credibility, and vision of our work.

The Opportunity

Legacy Investing is seeking an experienced power professional to lead both utility engagement and energy procurement across our North American development portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure access and commercial energy strategy — responsible for securing power to our sites and optimizing how we buy it. The ideal candidate brings deep utility relationships, a strong grasp of energy markets, and the ability to move seamlessly between long-lead infrastructure work and commercial contract execution.

Expectations for the Director of Power Procurement role include:

• Own the full power lifecycle for Legacy's development pipeline — from initial utility engagement and interconnection through energy supply procurement and contract execution.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, energy suppliers, and brokers across Legacy's operating markets.
• Serve as the primary internal resource on power availability, cost, and risk for new site development and portfolio expansion.
• Partner closely with Pre-Development, Development, Legal, Finance, and Sales to ensure power strategy is integrated into project timelines and underwriting.
• Proactively identifies, evaluates, and advances alternative power generation strategies — including on-site generation, distributed energy resources, and emerging technologies — to reduce utility dependency, improve energy resilience, and align with long-term procurement objectives.

Responsibilities for the Director of Power Procurement role include:

• Utility Engagement
  • Develop and maintain utility engagement strategies, contact plans, and relationship workflows across Legacy's development portfolio.
  • Conduct power market intelligence including rate structures, interconnection processes, transmission constraints, and long-lead infrastructure considerations.
  • Perform site-level power due diligence for prospective campuses, evaluating transmission access, anticipated timelines, study requirements, fees, and risks.
  • Prepare and advance power applications, executive summaries, and contracting packages for utility service agreements and interconnection requests.
  • Track and report on utility application, study, and agreement status across all active development sites.

• Energy Procurement
  • Lead the sourcing, negotiation, and execution of energy supply agreements including PPAs, ESAs, LEAs, and structured utility tariff arrangements.
  • Develop and maintain Legacy's energy procurement strategy, including renewable content, market exposure, pricing structures, and contract terms.
  • Monitor energy market trends, rate changes, and regulatory developments to inform procurement decisions and portfolio risk management.
  • Support financial modeling and cost forecasting by providing accurate energy price assumptions and contract structures for project underwriting.
  • Maintain a procurement pipeline and contract tracker across all active and pipeline sites.
  • Evaluates on-site generation opportunities — including solar, battery storage, combined heat and power (CHP), and backup generation — conducting financial and technical feasibility analyses to support build, lease, or PPA structuring decisions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, energy management, finance, business, or equivalent professional experience.
• 7+ years of experience spanning utility engagement and energy procurement, with direct experience on both the infrastructure and commercial sides of power.
• Demonstrated experience negotiating and executing power contracts including PPAs, ESAs, LEAs, or utility service agreements.
• Familiarity with interconnection processes, ISO/RTO markets, utility study requirements, and large-load service structures.
• Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to brief executives, build utility and supplier relationships, and drive cross-functional alignment.
• Ability to travel 40–50% as needed; U.S. citizenship required due to federal contract considerations.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance bonus potential.
• Discretionary participation in the Legacy annual profit pool.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (Legacy contributes 50% toward employee-only premiums).
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Flexible PTO policy with no formal cap on vacation days.
• Pre-tax account for commuting costs.

Location & Schedule:   This can be a remote position. We offer a flexible 'as-needed' environment; however, our expectation is that you are investing 40+ hours per week in support of your team and the business. Some travel to our Arlington, VA office and project sites should be expected.

Legacy Investing provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, disability, or any other status protected by law. We seek to build a team that promotes inclusion and reflects the diversity of the infrastructure and real estate industries.
