Energy Procurement & Policy

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. Every megawatt needs power, and power is this role's domain.

The Role

Mistral's data centers will consume hundreds of megawatts of electricity. This hire makes sure that power is reliable and affordable. You will define and execute Mistral's energy procurement strategy: structuring agreements with utilities, hedging against volatile spot prices, and tracking the regulatory changes that affect where and how data centers can be powered. The role also touches energy policy and community relations in the regions where Mistral operates.

This is a hybrid seat. Roughly half of the work is commercial: procurement contracts, hedging instruments, and price risk management. The other half is policy and positioning: monitoring regulation, engaging with grid operators and local authorities, and helping Mistral build the social license to operate large data centers across Europe.

What You Will Do

Define and execute Mistral's energy procurement strategy across European data center sites

Negotiate power purchase agreements and procurement contracts with utilities

Structure hedging agreements to limit exposure to volatile spot power prices

Monitor energy regulation and policy developments that affect data center siting, grid connection, and power pricing

Engage with grid operators, regulators, and local communities in regions where Mistral builds and operates data centers

What We're Looking For

You have procured energy at scale. You have structured power purchase agreements, utility contracts, or hedging instruments for industrial or infrastructure-scale consumers.

You understand European energy markets. You know how power pricing, grid connection, and regulation work across the markets where Mistral operates.

You can read a regulatory brief. You have tracked and interpreted energy or infrastructure policy and translated it into commercial implications.

You communicate across disciplines. You work effectively with engineers, finance, legal, and external stakeholders, and can explain complex energy concepts to non-specialists.
