Data Center Long-Term Capacity Partnerships

<h2><strong>About Mistral</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute.

The Data Centers team signs long-term leases for data center capacity developed by third-party operators, sources the GPUs that fill those halls, and runs the workloads that train and serve Mistral's models. Today the team is around 40 people, mainly based in Paris with some remote members, and operates roughly 200 MW of existing capacity across France. Key partners include Éclairion in France and EcoDC in Sweden, which is currently delivering Mistral's first Swedish data center.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">The team sits at the center of an ambitious roadmap: Mistral has publicly committed to securing one gigawatt of data center capacity globally by 2030. With 200 MW already online, roughly 800 MW remain to be secured over the next five years.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h3><strong>The Role</strong></h3><p style="min-height:1.5em">Mistral's cheapest and best-tailored capacity is the capacity planned furthest ahead. This hire builds the partnerships that make that possible: long-term relationships with infrastructure funds, data center developers, and landowners who acquire sites, secure grid connections, and construct bespoke facilities on Mistral's behalf, three to four years before the first GPU is installed.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You will define the collaboration principles that govern this ecosystem. You will structure partnerships where third parties carry development risk and Mistral locks in capacity designed to its technical specifications. The role is part strategist, part negotiator, part ecosystem builder. </p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h3><strong>What You Will Do</strong></h3><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Negotiate long-term capacity partnerships with infrastructure funds, data center companies, and landowners across Europe</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Define collaboration principles and contractual frameworks that allow third parties to develop data centers on Mistral's behalf</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Structure bespoke data center designs so that power, cooling, and layout are tailored to Mistral's technical needs</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Build a pipeline of development sites: land acquisition, grid connection, and construction timelines planned three to four years out</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Align partnership strategy with Mistral's science and infrastructure roadmaps</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h3><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></h3><
