** Position Summary
** The Data Center New Build Deployment Enablement Manager (DEM) serves as the central coordination point for network infrastructure deployment at new data center builds — from cable start through Production Ready (PR). This role is  the glue  between Design, Engineering, Construction and Network Deployment teams and all cross-functional partners, ensuring milestones are tracked, dates are committed, and teams are aligned across every phase of the  network build.

The DEM heavily influences cross-functional teams to provide and commit to dates, serves as the single source of truth for deployment milestones, and drives accountability when timelines slip. This is not a passive tracking role — it requires deep technical fluency in Data Center network infrastructure, the ability to navigate complex multi-team political dynamics, and the confidence to escalate blockers to senior leadership.
** Key Responsibilities
*** Milestone Coordination & Tracking
* ● Own and maintain the New Build Deployment Tracker for assigned buildings — tracking  milestones from Cable Ready to Production Ready (PR)  
● Drive weekly New Build coordination calls with cross-functional and internal teams  
● Track dependencies across multiple network layers  
● Integrate with construction and network schedules and maintain alignment between multiple schedule sources
* Cross-Functional Leadership & Communication
* ● Lead or co-lead New Build calls starting at cable start for data centers being built  
● Post weekly program updates — highlighting new/changed risks, milestone  achievements, and upcoming milestone dates  
● Serve as the bridge between Construction Managers, Deployment Engineers,  Connectivity Engineers, and all supporting teams  
● Influence cross-functional partners to provide and commit to dates  
● Facilitate SEV creation and escalation for schedule risks and cross-team blockers  
* Site Deployment Execution
* ● Coordinate network infrastructure deployment across multiple concurrent buildings (typically 2–4 simultaneous sites)  
● Track hardware delivery SLAs, material logistics (warehouse locations, shipping from nearest facility), and upstream dependencies  
● Understand and manage differences between building types  
● Monitor and drive resolution of deployment blockers  
* Risk Management & Escalation
* ● Identify schedule risks early by understanding SLA back-off calculations and hardware delivery timelines relative to project milestones  
● Create and manage SEVs for deployment blockers  
● Proactively communicate timeline impacts — provide specific information about expected impacts and revised timelines  
● Escalate to leadership when cross-functional commitments are not being met  
* Process Development & Continuous Improvement
* ● Contribute to template standardization across building types  
● Conduct lessons-learned reviews to identify recurring gaps in the deployment process  
● Mentor and train incoming DEMs through reverse shadow model and milestone sessions
** Required

Skills & Qualifications
*** Technical & Domain Knowledge
* ● Strong understanding of data center network infrastructure and production network layers  
● Familiarity with network deployment processes: rack & stack, provisioning, circuit audits, device scanning, and activation/undrain workflows  
● Understanding of material logistics: hardware delivery SLAs, BOM management, warehouse operations, and vendor coordination  
● Proficiency with project tracking tools  
● Hands-on experience with AI tools and agentic frameworks for workflow automation and reporting  
* Leadership & Interpersonal Skills
* ● Proven ability to influence without…
