The world runs on data. Every click, every stream, every AI model, every cloud service, all depend on one thing:
data centres
.

This is the unseen engine room of the global economy, a sector exploding with investment, innovation, and opportunity. As the demand for digital infrastructure accelerates,
the race for leadership talent has never been more critical — or more exciting.

At
Data eXec
, we sit right at the centre of it all.

Dedicated exclusively to the data centre and digital infrastructure sector: partnering with
hyperscalers, colocation providers, operators, and innovators
across Europe and the US to connect them with the leaders shaping the digital future.

The Role: Lead. Influence. Transform.

This isn't recruitment as usual: this is
executive search at the cutting edge
of global technology and infrastructure.

As an
Executive Search Consultant

    retained executive searches for high-profile clients in a sector that's growing at record speed.
  • Build your own market
    within a fast-scaling, high-profile division backed by the powerhouse reputation of Data X Connect.
  • Engage directly with global leaders
    – advising them on the strategies and talent shaping digital infrastructure.
  • Become a visible thought leader
    – representing Data eXec at conferences, writing insights, and elevating your own personal brand.

This is a role where your work doesn't just fill jobs, it
changes how the digital world operates.

Who You Are

You're entrepreneurial, ambitious, and thrive in high-stakes environments. You know how to build relationships that matter and close deals that make an impact.

You'll bring:

  • Proven success in executive search, senior recruitment, or high-value professional services.
  • A track record of winning new business and delivering results at senior level.
  • Sharp communication, influencing, and presentation skills.
  • A proactive, commercial mindset with a real curiosity for technology and innovation.

Bonus points for:

  • A network within the data centre, digital infrastructure, or technology/engineering ecosystem.
  • Experience managing international clients or multi-country searches.
  • A flair for content, public speaking, or thought leadership

Why Join Data eXec?

  • Step into a
    sector growing faster than any other on the planet
    — powering everything from AI and 5G to streaming and the cloud.
  • High earnings potential
    – competitive base salary plus uncapped commission.
  • Autonomy, flexibility, and global reach
    – hybrid working and international travel.
  • Backed by an established brand
    , but with the freedom of a high-growth, entrepreneurial team.
  • Clear path into leadership
    as we expand across Europe and the US.
  • The platform and visibility to become a
    recognised voice in the most dynamic industry on Earth.
