TL;DR · Senior Manager, Infrastructure Operations and Compliance

Senior Manager, Infrastructure Operations and Compliance leads a unified infrastructure operations function encompassing physical network reliability, operational security, and global regulatory compliance across hundreds of international data center sites. This leader manages two teams to ensure 24x7 availability through incident response, hardware break-fix, circuit management, and lifecycle operations while maintaining audit readiness for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, ISMAP, and IRAP frameworks. Key responsibilities include overseeing the decommissioning lifecycle, managing ITAD vendor relationships, and coordinating physical access control systems. The role requires expertise in data center colocation environments, network architecture, and hardware operations. To drive efficiency, the manager will spearhead automation initiatives using internal tools, scripts, and AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual toil. Candidates must possess strong leadership skills to manage managers while navigating complex global infrastructure requirements across multiple time zones and regulatory jurisdictions.

What you'll do

  • Lead and manage two teams focused on infrastructure operations and security compliance across 750+ global data centers.
  • Manage 24/7 incident response for network outages, hardware failures, and facility issues across multiple time zones.
  • Oversee the end-to-end decommissioning lifecycle including physical asset destruction, vendor management, and evidence collection.
  • Ensure continuous audit readiness for compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, ISMAP, and IRAP.
  • Manage physical access control systems, including provisioning, deprovisioning, and regular access review cycles.
  • Drive the development of automated tools and AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual operational tasks.
  • Negotiate with global vendors and manage contracts for hardware repairs, circuit management, and asset disposal.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for GRC leads and executive stakeholders regarding infrastructure compliance.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in infrastructure, data center, or network operations with at least 3 years in a people management role.
  • Demonstrated experience managing managers and holding multiple teams accountable to operational SLAs simultaneously.
  • Direct experience with physical data center operations including hardware lifecycle management, decommissioning, and colocation vendor management.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP at an operational level.
  • Proven track record of driving operational efficiency through process redesign or automation adoption.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to translate technical details into executive-level reporting.
  • Experience managing 24x7 on-call operations teams (preferred).
  • Export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
