Data Center Capacity Acquisition

About Mistral

Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.

We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.

The team

Mistral Cloud builds and operates the infrastructure that powers Mistral's AI. 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.

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.

The Role

This hire acquires the data center capacity that Mistral's next generation of models will run on. Across Europe, you will negotiate co-location agreements and built-to-suit contracts with data center developers, structure master services agreements and order forms, and make sourcing decisions grounded in a deep understanding of what the capacity will actually be used for: training frontier LLMs, serving inference at scale, or both.

The role sits at the intersection of commercial negotiation and technical infrastructure. You will need to translate workload requirements into contract terms, assess whether a given site can deliver the power, cooling, and connectivity Mistral needs, and close deals that lock in capacity years before the GPUs arrive.

What You Will Do

•
Negotiate master services agreements, order forms, and co-location or built-to-suit contracts with data center developers across Europe

•
Structure capacity sourcing decisions based on workload requirements: training, inference, or hybrid

•
Assess data center sites for power delivery, cooling, connectivity, and commissioning timelines

•
Work with Mistral's science and infrastructure teams to align capacity plans with model roadmaps

•
Manage relationships with existing data center partners including Éclairion and EcoDC

What We're Looking For

•
You have negotiated data center contracts. You have closed master services agreements, order forms, or co-location / built-to-suit deals in the data center or infrastructure sector.

•
You understand capacity delivery. You know what it takes to commission a data hall: power, cooling, connectivity, timelines, and the failure modes that delay go-live.

•
You can translate technical requirements into commercial terms. You have structured sourcing decisions based on workload needs, whether for training clusters or inference serving.

•
You operate across borders. You have worked with counterparties across multiple European jurisdictions and are comfortable with cross-border negotiation.
