JOB DESCRIPTION

Role Summary

Keel Infrastructure is seeking an experienced and highly analytical VP, Corporate Strategy to help shape the company's long-term growth and strategic direction. Reporting directly to the President, this role serves as a trusted advisor to the executive leadership team, leading enterprise strategy, evaluating growth opportunities, driving high-impact cross-functional initiatives, and supporting executive decision-making across the business.

This is not a traditional internal consulting role. The VP, Corporate Strategy will play a central role in helping the company identify where to invest, prioritize strategic initiatives, evaluate new business opportunities, and ensure critical enterprise initiatives are successfully executed.

The ideal candidate combines exceptional strategic thinking with strong financial acumen, executive communication skills, and a proven ability to translate strategy into measurable business outcomes. As the first dedicated strategy leader at Keel, this individual will have the opportunity to build the corporate strategy function over time while working closely with senior leaders across the SVP, Datacenter Design and Construction, SVP, Site Selection & Power, Corporate Development, Commercial, Operations, Finance, Legal, and Investor Relations.

• Bias for action and execution.
• Collaborative leadership style with the ability to build trusted relationships across functions.
• Data-driven decision-making — grounds strategy, day-to-day execution, and outcome tracking in rigorous analysis rather than instinct alone.
• Solutions-oriented leadership — takes ownership of surfacing problems and driving them through to resolution, not just flagging them.
• High degree of ownership, accountability, and sound judgment.

Why Join Keel

This is a unique opportunity to help shape one of the industry's emerging digital infrastructure platforms during a period of rapid growth. As the company's first VP, Corporate Strategy, you will work directly with executive leadership to influence major investment decisions, define long-term strategy, lead enterprise transformation initiatives, and build a function that will play a critical role in Keel's future success.

You will have direct, regular visibility with the President, CEO, and Board of Directors from day one — this is not a role where strategic recommendations get filtered through several layers before they reach a decision-maker. Keel is scaling its data center portfolio at a pace that will test every part of the organization, and the strategic choices made in the next 24 months (which markets, which power structures, which capital partners, which M&A targets) will define the company's trajectory for the next decade. You will build the strategy function from the ground up: its processes, its cadence with the Board, and its working relationships with Corporate Development, the SVP, Datacenter Design and Construction, and Operations. Few strategy roles at this stage of a company's growth come with this much latitude to define how the function itself should work, not just what it recommends.

In addition to the below base salary range, our compensation package includes an annual cash bonus and a yearly equity grant.
