Job Description Insight Global is seeking a Commercial Manager to join a top energy company in Houston, TX, supporting the engineering, procurement, and construction of multiple hyperscale, mission‑critical data centers across the United States. This role leads end‑to‑end commercial strategy for data center pursuits, with ownership of pricing, risk management, and commercial positioning from opportunity qualification through contract award. The position partners closely with Business Development, Estimating, and Pre‑construction teams to develop competitive bid strategies, compelling value propositions, and executable pricing structures aligned with GMP and hyperscale requirements.

Key responsibilities include leading executive‑level pricing and risk reviews, governing commercial assumptions and documentation, and serving as the primary commercial interface with client leadership during negotiations.

As they build the trust, they will also be accountable to make the decision itself.
