Manager, Gas Supply

Denver, Colorado, United States

 

Overview

Tract is a team of digital infrastructure experts dedicated to accelerating responsible data center growth by developing master-planned data center parks with access to pre-positioned power and fiber in key markets where hyperscale and AI demand is going. Our approach is collaborative with governments, utilities, cities, and regions to ensure development is targeted for the optimal locations to maximize the economic development benefits for the community while being good stewards of the land and minimizing the impact on neighbors. Tract is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with real estate holdings throughout the United States.


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.

  • Contribute to the development of repeatable frameworks for comparing gas infrastructure options across markets and sites

Cross-Functional Coordination & Reporting

  • Translate gas supply requirements into clear cost inputs, delivery timelines, and risk assessments for internal stakeholders (development, engineering, power, finance)
  • Partner with engineering and power teams to align on heat rates, equipment specifications, future growth needs, and gas ramp schedules
  • Determine appropriate gas gate station sizing and commodity purchase quantities in coordination with engineering

Market Intelligence

  • Monitor gas market conditions and maintain up-to-date intelligence on pricing, supply availability, and operational risks
  • Track regional pipeline infrastructure, capacity dynamics, and constraints
  • Provide regular updates to internal stakeholders on market trends and relevant developments

  • Minimum 5-7 years of experience in natural gas trading, scheduling, natural gas origination, business development, or related gas operations experience

  • Ability to navigate pipeline informational postings to identify and interpret applicable tariffs, general terms and conditions, capacity offers, open season processes, and interconnection agreements

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
