TL;DR · Senior Director, Data Center Operations

The Senior Director, Data Center Operations leads large-scale data center operations across a major North American site, overseeing an organization of approximately 250 people. This role is responsible for building and leading the operating model, systems, and processes required to manage a complex infrastructure footprint. Key responsibilities include managing technician organizations for hardware deployment, break/fix activities, GPU rack installation, and compute infrastructure connectivity. The candidate will develop NPI process strategies, establish spare parts and inventory management capabilities, and implement automation-driven solutions to improve throughput and reliability. Essential skills include expertise in enterprise IT infrastructure, server hardware, and change management. The role addresses the challenge of scaling cloud and AI infrastructure by creating a highly scalable operations environment that utilizes software and automation to manage growth without increasing headcount proportionally across the data center lifecycle.

What you'll do

  • Lead large-scale data center operations including deployment and ongoing production across North American sites.
  • Build the operating model, systems, and processes required to manage a complex data center footprint.
  • Create scalable environments by implementing automation, tooling, and process engineering instead of increasing headcount.
  • Oversee technician teams responsible for hardware deployment, break/fix activities, and GPU rack installation.
  • Develop and drive the New Product Introduction (NPI) strategy for new infrastructure technologies.
  • Establish world-class spare parts and inventory management systems to ensure hardware availability.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams like engineering and supply chain to improve the end-to-end lifecycle.
  • Develop the leadership bench and organizational capabilities to support continued infrastructure growth.

What we're looking for

  • Significant experience leading large-scale, people-intensive operations in data centers or complex infrastructure environments.
  • Proven experience operating at hyperscale and building systems that allow for growth without proportional headcount increases.
  • Demonstrated ability to design operating models that manage capacity, throughput, and performance through systems rather than just hierarchy.
  • Strong software and automation mindset with a track record of using tools and data to improve operational performance.
  • Deep knowledge of data center hardware operations including deployment, break/fix, GPU rack installation, and inventory management.
  • Technical depth sufficient to engage with engineering teams regarding compute and GPU architectures.
  • Experience managing infrastructure through the full lifecycle from new product introduction (NPI) to steady-state operations.
  • Sponsorship is not available for this position.
