That’s where OVO Drive comes in, it's our dedicated electric vehicle business. We already provide hardware installations, home & public charging but we want so much more, we want to build a single app experience that covers everything an EV driver could need. This role will play a huge part in that.

We work like a start up- using our entrepreneurial, OVO Way spirit to drive us forward. And we’ll be flexible about how we do it - trying new things, growing the ones that work and learning new, green skills as we go.

This role in a nutshell:

Sitting in the OVO Drive department this role will support the development of the native OVO Charge mobile app. This is the department’s flagship product, which opens up the public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for EV drivers across Europe and provides OVO Energy customers a simple interface to manage their Home Charging at a discounted rate.

• Ways of working: Have experience in an agile environment working with a rapidly evolving product
• Product Engineering: Are passionate about product and user experience – customers are at the heart of everything you do! Strong commercial thinking is a plus!
• Impact: You’ll have a strong desire to have impact and taking ownership early on

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:

We’ll pay you between £40,000 - £54,000, depending on your specific skills and experience.

We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission.

You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal. 

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash.

Here’s a taster of what’s on offer: 

For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).

For your health
With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more

For your wellbeing
With gym membership, travel insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, dental insurance, and more

For your lifestyle
With extra holiday buying, discount dining, home & tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give-as-you-earn donations

For your home 
Get up to £400 towards any OVO Energy plan, plus great discounts on solar, smart thermostats and EV chargers

For your commute
Nab a great deal on ultra-low emission car leasing, plus our cycle to work scheme and public transport season ticket loans

Want to hear about our full range of flexible benefits and progressive people policies? Our People Team can tell you everything you need to know.

For your Belonging

Data Center Transaction Principal, Europe

About the role

As a Transaction Principal for Europe at Anthropic, you'll drive the commercial sourcing and transaction execution process for our European data center capacity deals. You'll lead RFP processes, negotiate term sheets, and serve as the central leader ensuring seamless stakeholder alignment from initial sourcing through lease execution.

This role is critical to securing the infrastructure that powers Anthropic's frontier AI systems across Europe — you'll bridge commercial negotiations with complex internal coordination across legal, finance, engineering, and network teams, and partner closely with our Compute Markets team who own the Europe market strategy and government relationships. This is not an established leasing org; you'll be building process alongside execution, and doing so across multiple countries with distinct regulatory, power, and development dynamics.

Responsibilities

• Lead the RFP and commercial sourcing process for European data center deals, managing developer outreach, proposal evaluation, and competitive selection across multiple markets

• Negotiate term sheets and manage the LOI process, structuring commercial terms that meet Anthropic's technical and business requirements while maintaining strong developer partnerships

• Create the bridge from LOI to executed transaction, ensuring all commercial, technical, and legal requirements are satisfied for deal closure

• Serve as project manager for cross-functional stakeholder engagement — coordinating due diligence teams, internal and external legal counsel, network organization, platform engineers, and finance to ensure alignment prior to lease execution

• Act as the single point of contact for auxiliary organizations including networks, deployments, and government relations, providing regular updates on transaction progress and leasing status

• Develop and maintain transaction timelines, tracking critical-path items and proactively identifying risks that could impact deal closure

• Ensure all stakeholder requirements are captured and addressed in commercial agreements, translating technical and operational needs into contractual terms

• Manage complex digital infrastructure development activities to a construction-ready state, through a developer or directly

• Marry the right projects, capital stacks, and developers at the right stages

• Navigate country-specific permitting, grid connection, and regulatory requirements that vary significantly across European markets

• Document and refine transaction processes and playbooks to enable scalable deal execution as Anthropic expands its infrastructure footprint across the region

• Partner with the Compute Markets Manager to prioritize markets, sites, and counterparties, and feed deal learnings back into Europe market strategy

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 10+ years of experience in transaction management, commercial real estate, data center leasing, or infrastructure procurement

• Possess a proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from sourcing through execution

• Have strong negotiation skills with experience structuring term sheets, LOIs, and commercial agreements

• Excel at project management and can coordinate across legal, technical, finance, and operational teams simultaneously

• Have experience with RFP processes and competitive sourcing for large-scale infrastructure or real estate transactions

• Have experience working in or across European markets, with knowledge of the regional data center and development landscape — including established FLAP-D hubs and emerging markets like the Nordics and Southern Europe

• Are comfortable operating across multiple countries with different legal frameworks, languages, and business cultures

• Are highly organized with strong attention to detail while maintaining focus on strategic deal objectives

• Can operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where processes are being built alongside execution

• Demonstrate exceptional communication skills and can coordinate effectively across time zones with US-based HQ teams and distributed European partners

It's a bonus if you

• Have experience with data center or hyperscale infrastructure transactions specifically

• Come from the development side of the industry rather than traditional brokerage/leasing — you understand how DC development works and how value is created (yield-on-cost, cap rates, development fees)

• Understand technical requirements for AI/ML workloads including power density, cooling, and network connectivity

• Have worked with legal teams on complex lease negotiations or infrastructure agreements across multiple European jurisdictions

• Understand utility coordination, power procurement, or energy considerations in data center transactions, particularly in the European context (fragmented national power markets, grid connection queues, renewable PPAs, sustainability and efficiency regulations)

• Have familiarity with data sovereignty and regulatory considerations that influence European site selection

• Have relationships within the European data center developer, operator, and broker ecosystem

• Have a background in corporate development, strategic partnerships, or infrastructure investment

• Have experience in high-growth technology companies managing infrastructure expansion
