About the Role

~1 min read

We’re looking for a Director of Infrastructure to define and lead how critical electrical and mechanical systems are designed, scaled, and governed across our data center platform.

This is a high-impact, enterprise-level role—not a site operations position. You’ll set the standards for redundancy, capacity, safety, and infrastructure risk, ensuring our environments are built and operated with consistency, resilience, and long-term intent. If you’ve led in mission-critical environments and want to shape how infrastructure is governed—not just operated—this role is built for that.

Own and govern enterprise infrastructure strategy, standards, and long-term direction for electrical and mechanical systems across data center locations
Define redundancy philosophy, reliability targets, maintenance standards, and infrastructure risk posture to ensure consistency across sites
Own infrastructure lifecycle and capacity planning, including refresh cycles, load assumptions, margin policies, and expansion sequencing to support sustainable growth
Lead enterprise vendor governance and performance for critical infrastructure providers, including OEM relationships and service standards
Establish safety, compliance, and energy efficiency frameworks, ensuring alignment with reliability, sustainability, and regulatory requirements
Provide final approval for major infrastructure decisions, including customer solutions, high-density deployments, and non-standard configurations
Partner cross-functionally and review systemic risks and performance trends to drive enterprise alignment and corrective action
Engage, when required, in service assurance/outage mitigation process as an escalation point.

You’ve led mission-critical infrastructure in data centers or similar environments
You understand redundancy, capacity, and reliability at a systems level—not just component level
You’re comfortable owning standards, risk decisions, and long-term direction
You make sound calls under pressure and can balance uptime, cost, and growth
You know how to influence across teams without creating confusion in ownership

Sets the bar for infrastructure standards and holds teams accountable to them
Brings both technical credibility and strategic clarity
Aligns teams without overreaching into site-level execution
Builds strong, capable infrastructure organizations
Uses data and trends to drive decisions—not assumptions

Redundancy standards and infrastructure risk posture are clearly defined, consistently applied, and protected across all locations
Capacity and lifecycle planning are accurate, forward-looking, and aligned with growth and long-term resilience
Infrastructure decisions reflect deliberate governance rather than reactive or site-specific variation
Vendors perform to defined standards with strong accountability and minimal systemic risk
Safety, compliance, and efficiency frameworks are consistent, audit-ready, and sustainably improving performance
Infrastructure teams are structured with the right depth and leadership to support scale and reliability
