About Giga

At Giga, we develop, build, and operate AI energy infrastructure that powers the modern world. And we’re on a mission to fix the broken energy infrastructure experience — permanently. Our vertically integrated approach stacks site origination and development, infrastructure manufacturing, and power market participation under one operating system. Founded in Texas, Giga partners with AI hyperscalers, data center operators and other energy infrastructure teams to deliver projects faster.

Why Join Us
  • The Pace: You will own projects moving faster than anywhere else in the industry.
  • The Impact: You are the person who turns "concepts" into "contracts" and "permits."
  • The Team: Work with a world-class group of engineers and builders defining the future of AI infrastructure.

What you’ll do

Giga Energy is seeking a Manager, M&A and Corp Dev to lead the sourcing, underwriting, and execution of powered land and energy infrastructure transactions that fuel our data center and Bitcoin platform.

This is a senior, client-facing deal leadership role for someone who has already led meaningful transactions and is ready to own a strategy. You will originate opportunities, lead cross-functional diligence, structure transactions, and present directly to our investment committee. We are looking for someone commercially sharp, highly analytical, and relentless in getting deals closed.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our San Francisco or Houston offices. You must be willing to work in the office full-time, outside of our bi-weekly WFH Fridays. Employees will be able to work remotely for up to 4 weeks per year.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.

Responsibilities

Origination & Strategy

  • Lead powered land and energy infrastructure acquisition efforts across priority markets.
  • Build and maintain relationships with utilities, landowners, brokers, developers, and capital partners.
  • Develop a repeatable pipeline aligned with Giga’s growth targets.

Deal Execution

  • Own transactions from LOI through closing.
  • Lead internal deal teams across development, engineering, finance, and legal.
  • Negotiate land purchase agreements, energy contracts, and related commercial documents.

Underwriting & Investment Analysis

  • Build and maintain detailed financial models evaluating land basis, power pricing, infrastructure capex, and return profiles.
  • Conduct sensitivity and downside analyses.
  • Prepare clear, compelling investment memoranda.

Due Diligence

  • Oversee diligence across utility interconnection, zoning, environmental, title, and infrastructure feasibility.
  • Identify risks early and drive mitigation strategies.

Investment Committee

  • Present opportunities to internal stakeholders.
  • Defend assumptions and articulate risk-adjusted return profiles.
  • Push transactions through approval and close.

Requirements

  • 5–10 years of experience in energy, infrastructure, real estate private equity, development, or related transactional roles.
  • Demonstrated experience leading or heavily driving acquisitions through close.
  • Strong financial modeling and underwriting capabilities.
  • Polished, executive-level communication skills.
  • Proven ability to negotiate commercial agreements.
  • High ownership mentality and strong execution discipline.

Benefits

  • Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Parental leave
  • Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Monthly team onsites where all offices come in–person to collaborate
