Responsibilities
- Own the design, fit-out, and commissioning of white space sites across the US and Asia, with a focus on power distribution (PDUs), cooling distribution (CDUs), and IT-adjacent infrastructure
- Build and lead a ~20-person break-fix and smart hands team from scratch — define the operating model, hire the initial team, and establish the processes and playbooks that keep sites running
- Manage a portfolio of 5+ sites across two regions in various stages of deployment and live operation
- Partner with vendors, contractors, and equipment suppliers to drive site deployments to schedule and quality
- Establish operational standards, runbooks, and escalation processes for a nascent but rapidly growing infrastructure function
- Serve as the technical authority on data center infrastructure decisions — from white space evaluation through to live production operation
- Travel to Asia periodically to oversee regional site deployments and support the local team
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on technical knowledge of data center power and cooling systems at the IT-adjacent layer — PDUs, CDUs, power distribution, and white space fit-out
- Proven experience designing and commissioning data center infrastructure, from evaluation through to live operation
- Experience operating data center infrastructure at meaningful scale, supporting large production workloads
- People leadership experience — you've hired, developed, and led technical operations teams
- A builder's instinct — you're comfortable standing up teams and functions from scratch, writing the playbook where none exists, and operating with ambiguity
- Strong vendor and contractor management skills — you know how to hold external partners accountable to timeline and quality
Nice to Have
- Experience with GPU or AI infrastructure deployments
- Multi-site or multi-region portfolio management
- Familiarity with Asian markets
