About this position About Prime Data Centers

Prime Data Centers develops, acquires, and operates data centers for some of the world's largest enterprises.

This is a hybrid, build-and-run role. In the near term, the manager will help stand up the supporting software and monitoring infrastructure (ticketing, alarm/notification, DCIM, dashboards, and incident bridge tooling) and will design the processes, runbooks, and staffing model for the OSC. Once the foundation is in place, the manager will recruit, train, and lead a team of Operations Support Center professionals who work rotating 24/7 shifts, and will personally own incident response leadership and bridge/call management for critical and major incidents.
