• Serve as the single point of contact between DC Ops and IT, Systems Engineering, Enterprise Applications, Security, and Data/Analytics teams.
• Define standardized workflows and data models for core Data Center Operations processes — work order intake and dispatch, change management, incident and problem management, asset lifecycle, capacity and inventory tracking, project intake and stage-gating, and cost and schedule controls.
• Manage deployment and enhancement activities for DCIM capabilities supporting, covering asset and capacity tracking, power and cooling visibility, rack-level inventory, and integration with networking and procurement systems.
• Direct implementation and enhancement of Jira (or equivalent ITSM platforms) supporting operational ticketing, project tracking, workflows, reporting, and automation.
• Partner with the DC Ops PMO and Construction teams to select, configure, and operationalize project controls platforms covering schedule, cost, change order, document control, and reporting workflows.

• Lead the people side of system rollouts — communications, training, documentation, super-user networks, and adoption metrics.
• Develop and maintain project status reporting, implementation dashboards, adoption metrics, and operational readiness reporting.
• Maintain implementation documentation including deployment plans, testing scripts, training materials, process documentation, operational procedures, and lessons learned.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 7+ years of experience in business systems, IT business analysis, operations systems management, or technical program management with 3+ years supporting data center, mission-critical facilities, manufacturing, or comparable physical operations environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience defining requirements for and implementing at least two of the following: DCIM, CMMS, ITSM/Jira platforms, project controls, or asset/capacity management systems.
• Demonstrated track record of leading end-to-end system implementations; requirements gathering, vendor selection, configuration, integration, UAT, training, and post-go-live support.
• Strong working knowledge of how Data Center Operations run, including preventive maintenance, change management, capacity planning, work order workflows, project intake and stage-gating, and the data each of those generates.
• Comfortable in conversations with software engineers, IT architects, and security teams. Familiarity with REST APIs, integration patterns (iPaaS, middleware), data models, and basic SQL — enough to be a credible partner, even though you are not the one writing the code.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority. Skilled at building consensus across operations, IT, finance, and vendor stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication. Equally comfortable writing a PRD, running a vendor demo, leading a training session, or presenting a roadmap to senior leadership.
Preferred:
• Experience scaling business systems in hyper-growth or M&A environments, including consolidating multiple legacy tools onto a unified platform.
• Experience with hyperscale or AI/HPC data center environments, including high-density and liquid-cooled deployments.
