Position: Manager, Gas Supply

Reports To: VP Energy Procurement

Position Overview

Tract is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Manager, Gas Supply to support the execution of natural gas procurement across Tract's data center portfolio — including both behind-the-meter (BTM) power generation and grid-facing power projects.

Reporting directly to the VP of Energy Procurement, this role sits at the center of unlocking Tract’s power strategy. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operational and commercial activities that turn strategy into reality across multiple sites, while also helping shape how Tract builds its gas supply platform over time. The Manager will coordinate pipeline interconnection processes, manage counterparty engagement, support commercial negotiations, and ensure internal stakeholders have clear visibility into gas supply costs, timelines, and risks.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with a clear path to increased strategic responsibility as Tract’s portfolio scales. The ideal candidate is hungry to build, comfortable operating across multiple projects at once, and excited to help design the playbooks and processes for a growing gas supply function.
