Director, Corporate Development

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a commercial and strategic Director to join our team and help shape Hut 8’s capital allocation, growth strategy, and infrastructure expansion. Working closely with our executive leadership team, you will lead high-priority corporate initiatives, including M&A, financings, and joint ventures across our digital infrastructure and energy business.
The ideal candidate is a dealmaker coming out of Investment Banking, Private Equity, Infrastructure Funds, or Corporate Development from leading computing infrastructure and power and energy companies. We need a leader who can own the M&A process end-to-end—meaning you know how to source the opportunity, design the commercial structure, and determine how to finance the deal. This role offers regular exposure to our executive team, requiring someone who can comfortably translate complex financial decisions into clear business strategy.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

End-to-End M&A & Deal Execution

• Sourcing & Origination: Identify, screen, and source strategic investment opportunities, joint ventures, and M&A targets that expand our AI compute and data center footprint.
• Transaction Structuring: Lead the commercial and legal structuring of complex deals, balancing corporate strategy, risk mitigation, and commercial terms.
• Financing Strategy: Design and execute the financing strategy for each transaction, evaluating and securing the right mix of debt, equity, or structured capital solutions.
• Deal Ownership: Manage the full deal lifecycle from initial valuation and non-binding offers through due diligence, definitive documentation negotiation, and closing.

Capital Strategy & Financial Oversight

• Financial Modeling: Oversee corporate financial modeling work streams (including DCF, LBO, merger analysis, and project finance models) for data center developments and high-performance computing (HPC) assets.
• Executive Decision Support: Synthesize transaction economics and valuation materials into clear presentations and recommendations for the Executive Team and the Board.

Collaboration & Relationship Management

• Internal Coordination: Partner directly with senior leadership across AI/Data Center Development, Energy Origination, Strategic Finance, EPC, Treasury, Legal, and Accounting to ensure seamless execution.
• Advisor Management: Lead external financial advisors, legal counsel, and technical consultants, keeping diligence work streams on time and on budget.
• Network Management: Maintain and leverage a strong network of relationships with investment banks, institutional infrastructure investors, technology vendors, and energy counterparties.

ABOUT YOU

• Background: 7–10+ years of transactional experience across Investment Banking, Private Equity, Infrastructure Funds, or Corporate Development from leading computing infrastructure and power and energy companies.
• Deal Track Record: A proven history of closing transactions with clear ownership over the sourcing, structuring, and financing process.
• Industry Focus: Strong familiarity with the economics of digital infrastructure, AI compute, data centers, or power and energy markets.
• Technical Skills: Deep understanding of corporate finance, project finance, capital markets, and corporate structuring, along with the ability to oversee complex modeling teams.
• Communication: Strong communication skills and professional maturity, with the ability to present confidently to C-suite executives, board members, and sophisticated external partners.
• Leadership Style: A self-starter who can effectively manage multiple high-stakes projects at once and guide cross-functional teams without losing sight of the details.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field. An MBA or CFA is a plus.
