Colocation Manager information

What does a colocation manager do?

A Colocation Manager oversees the operation and management of data center facilities that provide colocation services. They ensure that customers' equipment is securely housed, maintained, and powered, while also managing space allocation, power usage, and connectivity. Their responsibilities include coordinating with clients, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and managing a team of technicians to deliver optimal service. Additionally, they may be involved in budgeting, vendor management, and implementing security protocols within the facility.

How does a colocation manager typically collaborate with clients and internal teams to ensure seamless operations?

A Colocation Manager serves as a central point of contact between clients and internal teams such as facilities, IT, and security. They regularly communicate with clients to understand their technical and operational needs, coordinate with internal teams to schedule maintenance or resolve issues, and ensure compliance with service level agreements. This role often involves balancing multiple priorities, managing expectations, and fostering strong relationships to deliver reliable data center services. Effective collaboration and proactive communication are key to maintaining high client satisfaction and smooth facility operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a colocation manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Colocation Manager, you need expertise in data center operations, facilities management, and a solid understanding of IT infrastructure, usually supported by a relevant degree or equivalent experience. Familiarity with Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software, environmental monitoring systems, and industry certifications like Uptime Institute's Accredited Tier Designer or Data Center Certified Associate (DCCA) is often required. Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills help you coordinate teams, manage clients, and respond to emergencies efficiently. These skills ensure the reliable operation of colocation facilities, high customer satisfaction, and compliance with industry standards.

Job description

About the Team
OpenAI's Legal team plays a crucial role in advancing our mission by tackling novel and consequential legal issues in AI. The commercial infrastructure legal team supports the systems and facilities that make advanced AI possible, including compute, first-party silicon, colocation, and first-party data center development.
About the Role
We're seeking a senior commercial infrastructure lawyer to lead legal work across our rapidly growing data center development and colocation portfolio. You will advise on complex, high-value transactions involving new data center sites, power, construction, colocation, and related infrastructure arrangements.
This role is designed for a lawyer who understands how data centers are developed and operated-not a general real estate practitioner. You will work closely with infrastructure, finance, procurement, and operations teams, while coordinating outside counsel where appropriate, to help projects move quickly and responsibly.
San Francisco is preferred, and occasional travel may be required.
In this role, you will:
  • Lead commercial legal strategy and risk management for data center development and colocation transactions.
  • Draft, negotiate, and advise on colocation agreements, construction agreements, power-related arrangements, and other contracts supporting data center development.
  • Support first-party projects involving raw land, site and power rights, design and construction, EPC models, third-party build-to-suit structures, and leasebacks.
  • Partner cross-functionally with infrastructure, finance, procurement, operations, and other stakeholders on fast-moving, complex projects.
  • Manage and collaborate effectively with outside counsel across a high volume of infrastructure matters.
  • Develop scalable legal playbooks and contracting approaches for a growing portfolio of data center sites.

You might thrive in this role if you have:
  • 12+ years of legal experience, primarily in commercial legal roles.
  • Deep, hands-on experience drafting, negotiating, and advising on colocation and data center agreements.
  • Experience with one or more of the following: first-party data center builds, construction and EPC agreements, power arrangements, raw-land development, build-to-suit projects, or leasebacks.
  • A track record leading sophisticated, high-value commercial infrastructure transactions.
  • Experience at a hyperscaler, cloud or compute provider, data center developer, major colocation company, or law firm practice focused on comparable commercial infrastructure matters.
  • A mix of in-house and top-tier law firm experience.
  • Excellent judgment and the ability to operate autonomously in a highly technical, fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication skills and an ability to translate complex legal issues into practical, business-aligned guidance.
  • A JD and license or qualification to practice in California.
