• Resource Management: Effectively manage and allocate resources (teams, tools, budget), ensuring that all project phases are adequately staffed and equipped to meet fast-paced timelines.
• Risk Management: Identify potential project risks, create mitigation strategies, and proactively address issues to minimize disruptions to project timelines.
• Scheduling & Budgeting: Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource plans, ensuring projects are delivered within agreed contractual constraints.
• Quality Assurance: Ensure that all data center deployments meet technical and quality standards, including compliance with industry best practices and local regulations.
• Documentation: Maintain comprehensive project documentation, including design documents, and give regular progress reports.
• Technical Oversight and Collaboration: Provide technical guidance to teams, in collaboration with experts, on best practices for data center design and deployment, including considerations for power, cooling, networking, and physical security.
• Continual Improvement: Identify opportunities to optimize processes and improve operational efficiency. Implement best practices and innovative solutions to enhance data center operations.
• Project Oversight: Travel to up to 60% of data center locations to monitor progress, troubleshoot issues, and ensure smooth project execution. Coordinate with local teams, contractors, and vendors during on-site visits.

Who You Are:

• 6+ years of demonstrated experience in data center deployment, infrastructure project implementation, or technical project management within a data center environment.
• Project Management Skills: Proven ability to successfully manage complex technical projects from initiation to completion, utilizing a strong understanding of project management methodologies and tools.

• Leadership and Communication: Demonstrated ability to lead and manage teams, coupled with strong communication and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
• Problem Solving: Exceptional ability to analyze complex technical issues, troubleshoot problems, and propose innovative solutions, supported by strong decision-making and critical-thinking abilities.
• Compliance and Security: Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE), data center compliance requirements, security protocols, and risk management practices.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: Proven ability to prioritize tasks, adapt to changing requirements, and perform effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 60% to data center locations to support project execution, sometimes on short notice.
• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Relevant professional certifications (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, ITIL, CDCP, CDCS, or similar) are a plus.

Preferred:

• Experience with High-Performance Computing (HPC) or AI-specific infrastructure.
