• Identify and escalate portfolio risks related to capacity shortfalls, lease expirations, or contractual non-compliance, and drive resolution strategies.
• Build and maintain financial models to evaluate lease economics, including total cost of ownership, capital exposure, and scenario analysis across lease structures.
• Partner with capacity planning and infrastructure teams to translate compute and power demand signals into actionable lease portfolio decisions.
