As Microsoft’s cloud business grows, our infrastructure expands, with datacenters playing a key role in this progress. To support this growth, we are hiring a Site Acquisition Manager - AMER Leasing to assist in scaling the acquisition and development of our leased facilities to meet customer needs. We continue to lease and acquire DC capacity quickly, especially in fast-growing markets, working closely with datacenter operators in each region and globally.

The team focuses on key markets, tracks supply and demand, develops options for growth in new and existing areas, aligns land and lease portfolios, and ensures we can deliver dependable DCs now and in the future to support customer needs. We manage relationships with lessors to ensure contracted capacity is delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget.
