Industry : AI Infrastructure | Hyperscale Data Centers | Cloud Compute

Employment Type : Full-Time

About the Opportunity :

Join a pioneering infrastructure provider that’s driving the next wave of artificial intelligence. This organization is driving next-generation data center deployments, collaborating with industry-leading AI labs and technology innovators. As they scale operations globally, they are seeking a highly motivated Datacenter Operations Program Manager to elevate operational excellence and accelerate large-scale infrastructure readiness. This role sits at the critical intersection of design, engineering, and operations, driving cross-functional initiatives that ensure seamless site integration and long-term stability.

With a mission rooted in high performance, speed, and reliability, this organization offers a high-impact opportunity to shape foundational systems at the frontier of cloud infrastructure. This is an ideal role for operational leaders who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building process from scratch, and want to help scale toward multi-gigawatt deployments across the globe.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design and lead end-to-end datacenter operations lifecycle programs, from site readiness through to sustained operations.
  • Define and manage operational acceptance criteria and framework for infrastructure handover across multiple global regions.
  • Drive cross-functional coordination with design, construction, validation, and engineering teams to ensure readiness and alignment.
  • Develop and maintain SOPs for datacenter workflows, including uptime-critical activities, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
  • Implement metrics-driven programs to monitor operational health, flag issues, and enable rapid incident resolution.
  • Own incident management processes, including PIRs (post-incident reviews), root cause analysis, and CAPA follow-through.
  • Champion preventive maintenance, physical audits, operational testing, and continuous improvement to reduce downtime.
  • Present operational program performance and recommendations to executive leadership regularly.
  • Foster collaboration across infrastructure, product, supply chain, and engineering functions to scale effectively.

Required Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Business, Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in data center operations, infrastructure management, or critical environments.
  • 3+ years of experience in program management leading complex, cross-disciplinary projects.
  • Proven proficiency across data‑center components, from power delivery and cooling to networking, compute resources, and overall facility management.
  • Experience implementing ITIL or similar operational frameworks (incident, change, problem management).
  • Ability to operate autonomously in high-speed, ambiguous environments.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40% domestically and internationally.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Advanced degree (Master’s in Engineering, MBA, or related field).
  • Hands‑on experience in ultra‑large, hyperscale data ecosystems and high‑performance AI / ML platforms.
  • Certifications such as PMP, PgMP, Six Sigma, or ITIL.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of data‑center guidelines and best‑in‑class practices, including ASHRAE, Uptime Institute, and TIA‑942 standards.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience presenting program results to executive audiences.
  • What’s in It for You :

  • Competitive base salary and a performance-driven bonus and equity package valued at 2x to 4x base salary.
  • Remote-first culture with flexibility to work from anywhere in the U.S., with optional onsite travel.
  • Chance to join a fast‑moving startup that’s forging the planet’s most sophisticated AI‑powered infrastructure.
  • High-visibility role with direct impact on mission-critical operations at scale.
  • Work with some of the brightest minds in infrastructure engineering and AI deployment.
