- 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
- Travel to Asia periodically to oversee regional site deployments and support the local team
Requirements

- 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
