The Data Center & Site Operations Manager is responsible for leading physical infrastructure delivery and ongoing operational readiness across global data center environments. This role bridges the gap between initial build-out and lifecycle management, overseeing Day 1 rack-and-stack deployment execution and governing steady-state Day 2 activities—including infrastructure scaling, hardware expansions, migrations, break-fix governance, and continuous operational optimizations.

The ideal candidate combines strong program management, deployment operations expertise, vendor coordination, and cross-functional leadership to ensure high availability, operational consistency, and scalable deployment execution across multiple regions.

• Partner with architecture, engineering, and capacity teams to plan and execute Day 1 infrastructure deployments, ensuring hardware delivery, physical layout, rack-and-stack, and initial cabling meet global design standards.
• Lead Day 2 deployment activities across global data center sites including expansions, refreshes, migrations, retrofits, and operational upgrades.
• Coordinate deployment execution for compute, storage, networking, cabling, and infrastructure changes.
• Manage deployment schedules, implementation timelines, and resource planning across multiple concurrent projects.
• Drive operational readiness and turnover from construction/build teams into live operations environments.
• Oversee change implementation while minimizing operational risk and service disruption.

• Develop deployment roadmaps, execution plans, and operational milestones spanning Day 1 build-out and Day 2 steady-state activities.
• Track deployment KPIs, timelines, budgets, and vendor performance metrics.
• Manage risks, escalations, dependencies, and issue resolution throughout deployment lifecycle.
• Ensure alignment between engineering, operations, logistics, and site teams.
• Provide executive-level reporting on deployment progress, capacity readiness, and operational impacts.

• Establish and improve standardized deployment processes, SOPs, and operational playbooks for both Day 1 build-out and Day 2 steady-state execution.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on efficiency, quality, and deployment velocity.
• Ensure compliance with operational standards, safety requirements, and change management policies.
• Support incident response coordination for deployment-related operational issues.
• Partner with capacity planning and infrastructure teams to support scaling strategies.

• Oversee site-level operational functions including:
