About Vantage Data Centers

Vantage Data Centers is committed to being a workplace of inclusion, equity, respect, and acceptance. We celebrate diversity and intentionally seek out opportunities to learn from one another's experiences.

We power, cool, protect, and connect the technology of the world's well-known hyperscalers, cloud providers, and large enterprises. Developing and operating across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, Vantage has evolved data center design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency, and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.

Position Overview

The Senior Manager, Public Policy, EMEA – EU and Regulatory Affairs will be responsible for developing, implementing, and reporting on the company's public affairs program at the European Union (EU) level and on regulatory topics that impact the business across major markets. This role will partner with various internal stakeholders to determine Vantage's priorities and positions on programme-level policy topics, including ESG, planning and permitting policy, energy policy, and technology-related policy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and execution of a strategic public policy engagement plan to drive forward business objectives at the EU level.
  • Support regional public policy team members in developing and implementing policy messaging and engagement plans on programme-level policy topics.
  • Research, identify, track, and report on current and emerging policy issues at EU level that are relevant to the data centre sector and Vantage's business strategies.
  • Lead and/or contribute to the public policy efforts in cross-functional programme level initiatives in partnership with teams like operational compliance, sustainability, energy, design and engineering, legal, and/or corporate compliance.
  • Support the development and execution of any multi-market policy advocacy strategies in response to transposition of EU directives.
  • Oversee third-party public affairs agencies and industry associations supporting EU and programme level efforts.
  • Build and manage relationships with public affairs counterparts in the industry and with Vantage customers.
  • Support early market intelligence gathering, risk analyses, and early stakeholder engagement in select EU countries.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years' hands-on experience at EU level in public policy, government relations, civil service, policy advisory, or similar is required.
  • A strong understanding of the policy environment and mechanisms at EU level, with hands-on experience navigating and shaping policy within this context.
  • A strong network with relevant EU stakeholders and organisations is preferred.
  • Experience developing and implementing lobbying strategies at EU-level.
  • Experience in energy-, technology-, and/or data-centre-related fields is strongly preferred.
  • Graduate or post-graduate studies in public, energy, or international law is strongly preferred.
  • Experience managing third party public affairs agencies a plus.
  • Advanced political acumen and the ability to connect with stakeholders from all backgrounds.
  • A creative and strategic thinker with the ability to understand complex issues and identify clear and effective action plans to resolve them.
  • An affinity for project management, strong prioritisation skills, and the ability to objectively assess business risk and opportunity stemming from the policy environment.
  • Empathetic and strong stakeholder engagement skills required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication to internal and external audiences including senior government officials and company executives.
  • Business-fluency in English is mandatory. Fluency in another European language, particularly French, German, and/or Italian, is a strong plus.
  • A team player that is comfortable working in a matrixed organization and driving forward business value creation.
