What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Financial Officer position at Discovery Infrastructure Group?
Company Overview
Discovery Infrastructure Group (DIG) is a data center and utility-scale power platform company raising capital to develop, build, and operate integrated data center campuses across our development pipeline. DIG’s platform combines hyperscale-grade data center capacity with Utility-Grade-Power private power generation and storage, delivering firm, clean, cost-competitive power to the world’s largest technology companies without dependence on the public grid queue. Our customers include the hyperscale and AI infrastructure operators driving the current wave of compute build-out.

The CFO will lead the budgeting and architect of the company’s capital stack, the steward of its project-level financings, and work with institutional lenders, equity partners, and hyperscale customers. This person must understand the data center business from the inside: how Data Center REITs are capitalized, how hyperscale customers evaluate a developer, and what mission-critical real estate development requires at every stage from land control through certificate of occupancy.
