About us:
We're reinventing how the world uses data centers. Think flexible, optimised colocation services tailored
for your requirements - all with the very best customer support you can imagine. And because our data
centers are powered by sustainable energy, it doesn't cost the Earth either. It's the perfect environment
where everyone thrives - you and the planet.

Verne has been recently acquired by Ardian and is currently investing massively into new data centre
capacity and needs additional people to support this growth. We need self-driven, experienced,
motivated and focused new team members, and offer a dynamic, growth-oriented environment for
people to shine and learn.

intelligence, and financial acumen. You will lead the development of a complete, future-ready energy
platform-covering PPA origination, risk management, forecasting, and hedging-designed to deliver
stable, sustainable, and competitive outcomes for our business and our customers.

You'll join at a defining moment-where smart energy strategy will directly influence profitability,
resilience, and customer trust for years to come.

views to drive sizing and timing of PPAs, hedges, and grid capacity commitment.

forecasting, and financial hedging.

ensure transparency for executive and investor audiences.

commitments and operational demand.
