We are seeking an authoritative and highly technical Senior Manager to lead the design, coordination, and delivery of telecommunications infrastructure across our global hyperscale data center portfolio. Focusing primarily on the Americas (AMERs) and Latin America (LATAM) with global oversight, this role transitions beyond individual engineering to full portfolio and personnel management. The ideal candidate will direct regional engineering staff, govern vendor relationships, enforce strict project execution sequencing, and ensure world‑class delivery of our telecom strategy.

• Direct high‑density structured cabling architecture and long‑term scalability planning.
• Coordinate Layer 2 and Layer 3 architecture, IP addressing schemes, and VLAN segmentation with network engineering teams.
• Evaluate designs against N, N+1, 2N, and 2N+1 redundancy models and fault‑tolerant principles.
• Ensure cross‑regional compliance with TIA‑942, BICSI, IEEE, and applicable local codes and standards.

• Manage and track multiple hyperscale projects simultaneously, holding internal teams and external vendors accountable to schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
• Identify risks, gaps, and design conflicts early, actively driving effective technical and commercial solutions.
• Develop, maintain, and govern telecom design standards, specifications, and best practices across the global portfolio.
• Review, coordinate, and formally approve telecom drawing markups and design packages (utilizing Bluebeam, Visio, and CAD tools).
• Lead telecom infrastructure audits and long‑term capacity planning initiatives.
• Coordinate seamlessly with cross‑functional executive teams including IT, network engineering, construction, and facilities.

• A Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• A minimum of ten (10) years of progressive experience in telecommunications or network infrastructure engineering, including direct personnel and team management experience.
• 5+ years of mission‑critical or hyperscale data center experience.
