Vantage is seeking a commercial natural gas professional to support the development and execution of fuel supply and infrastructure solutions for large-scale data center and power generation projects across North America. This role will focus on natural gas supply strategy, transportation and storage arrangements, midstream infrastructure coordination, and commercial structuring to support hyperscale load growth and behind-the-meter generation development.

The ideal candidate will have experience in physical natural gas markets, including gas trading, marketing, transportation, storage, scheduling, or supply origination, and possess a strong commercial mindset with the ability to evaluate market dynamics, negotiate complex agreements, and develop creative fuel supply solutions around infrastructure and reliability constraints.

Candidates may come from midstream companies, gas marketers, producers, utilities, pipeline operators, trading organizations, IPPs, or large industrial energy users, and should have familiarity with interstate pipeline systems, transportation agreements, capacity releases, storage products, balancing arrangements, basis exposure, and physical gas delivery strategies across major North American basins and hubs. Strong relationships within the natural gas and midstream industry are highly desired.

In addition to commercial gas market experience, the role requires exposure to power generation development and infrastructure strategy, including an understanding of development risks, timelines, and commercial considerations associated with new generation resources and supporting fuel infrastructure. This includes familiarity with gas lateral development, interconnect agreements, long-lead infrastructure planning, utility coordination, fuel redundancy strategies, and the commercial implications of supporting large incremental load growth.

This role will work cross-functionally with development, infrastructure, legal, utility, and executive teams to support scalable and reliable fuel supply solutions for mission-critical infrastructure projects.
