Data Center Operations Project Manager

As a Data Center Operations Project Manager on our companys Cloud Deployment Operations team, you will drive the physical expansion and operational readiness of our sustainable data center infrastructure. In this full-time role, you will lead complex, high-impact infrastructure deployment projects across our data center environments. You will be the orchestrator ensuring sites are ready, structured cabling and physical layer infrastructure are installed to exact specifications, and our cutting-edge cloud infrastructure is brought online efficiently and reliably to power the future of compute.
The ideal candidate is a self-directed, highly organized technical project manager who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments. You bring a deep understanding of physical infrastructure deployments, data center operations, and cloud readiness, paired with the exceptional collaboration skills required to align cross-functional engineering teams and external vendors. By bridging the gap between physical deployment and operational reality, you will directly accelerate our company's mission to build the most climate-aligned digital infrastructure on earth.
What Youll Be Working On:
Ensure Site Readiness: Oversee all aspects of site readiness, proactively coordinating with diverse stakeholders to guarantee facilities are fully prepared for seamless equipment installation and operational deployment.
Own Deployment Execution: Lead end-to-end project management for physical layer and cable infrastructure rollouts, driving vendor execution from initial planning phases through final testing and handoff.
Manage Physical Infrastructure: Partner closely with internal deployment engineers to oversee the installation of structured cabling (backbone fiber, copper, pathways, and containment), ensuring third-party vendors execute strictly according to engineering designs and timelines.
Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration: Align project goals, key dependencies, and deliverables by working hand-in-hand with our Digital Infrastructure Group (DIG), Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and external partners.
Build Project Plans & Schedules: Develop, maintain, and manage highly detailed project plans-utilizing Gantt charts and tracking tools-to map critical milestones, track dependencies, and ensure on-time project delivery.
Mitigate Risks: Proactively identify project risks, physical constraints, and resource blockers, establishing robust mitigation strategies to maintain continuous project momentum.
Engage Stakeholders: Deliver clear, concise, and proactive updates regarding project progress, risks, and milestones to engineering, operations, and leadership teams to ensure total organizational alignment.
Continuous Process Improvement: Standardize and optimize deployment methodologies, contributing new processes and documentation to elevate the efficiency of the Cloud Deployment Operations team.
