The Senior Director, Data Center Operations will lead a large-scale organization of approximately 250 people to manage data center operations across a major North American site. This role involves building the operating model, systems, and processes required to support a complex, growing infrastructure footprint. Key responsibilities include overseeing technician organizations for hardware deployment, break/fix activities, GPU rack installation, and compute infrastructure connectivity. The successful candidate will drive the new product introduction strategy, manage spare parts and inventory, and implement automation to improve throughput and reliability. Required competencies include expertise in enterprise IT infrastructure management, server hardware, and change management. The role focuses on solving the technical challenges of hyperscale growth by utilizing a software mindset to automate repeatable processes and manage the end-to-end data center lifecycle.
Lead large-scale data center operations across North American sites, spanning deployment and production.
Build the operating model, systems, and processes required to manage a complex data center footprint.
Create a scalable environment using automation, tooling, and processes instead of increasing headcount.

Develop and drive the New Product Introduction (NPI) process strategy for new infrastructure.
Establish world-class spare parts and inventory management capabilities to ensure hardware availability.
Identify opportunities to remove manual work by applying a software and automation mindset to operations.
Develop the leadership bench and organizational capabilities to support continued infrastructure growth.
What we're looking for
Must have significant experience leading large-scale, people-intensive operations in data centers, cloud infrastructure, fulfillment, logistics, or manufacturing.
Must have proven experience operating at hyperscale and building systems that allow for growth without proportional headcount increases.
Must demonstrate the ability to design operating models that systematically manage work, capacity, throughput, productivity, quality, and performance.
Must possess a strong systems and software mindset with a track record of using automation, tooling, data, and process engineering.
Must have deep experience building repeatable operating mechanisms and scalable processes across multiple sites or large distributed organizations.
Must have a strong understanding of data center hardware operations, including deployment, break/fix, compute infrastructure, GPU racks, and inventory.
Must have technical depth sufficient to engage with engineering teams regarding the operational implications of evolving compute and GPU architectures.
