About The Position

This is a high-leverage business operations role embedded in the Datacenter organization. You will partner directly with 5–10 senior leaders to build the operating system that keeps the organization aligned, decision-ready, and executing at speed. The job sits at the intersection of planning, operating cadence, communications, and execution. You will turn complex, fast-moving work into clear priorities, durable mechanisms, and actionable insight. This is not a staff role from the sidelines—you will be in the middle of the work, helping leaders drive performance, manage tradeoffs, and scale with rigor. Datacenter growth creates complexity fast. As scope expands, the organization needs strong operating rhythms, clean decision paths, and reliable mechanisms that reduce noise and increase execution quality. This role helps create that structure. You will bring predictability to business reviews, planning cycles, communications, and cross-functional asks so leaders can stay focused on the highest-value work. The systems you build will improve transparency, raise the quality of decision making, and help the organization scale without losing speed.

Requirements

Experience in business operations, program management, or operational leadership in a datacenter, infrastructure, or other complex technical environment.
Highly analytical, structured, and execution oriented.
Ability to create clarity where there is ambiguity and turn scattered inputs into a coherent operating model.
Comfortable working directly with senior leaders, balancing competing priorities, and making sound judgments with incomplete information.
Builder by instinct: simplify, remove friction, and create mechanisms that scale.
Equally comfortable with details and executive context.
Deep care about raising the quality of decisions and execution.

Responsibilities

Own the operating cadence for the Datacenter organization, including monthly and quarterly business reviews, metrics, reporting, and leadership updates.
Partner with senior leaders to translate strategic priorities into clear plans, mechanisms, and follow-through.
Build and run the business planning processes that keep teams aligned on priorities, dependencies, risks, and execution progress.
Drive high-quality communications and change management across the organization so decisions are understood and actions land cleanly.
Create predictability and transparency across business rhythms by reducing ad hoc noise, clarifying requirements, and improving intake and triage.
Coordinate RFIs and other cross-functional requests with internal partners and the broader Business Operations cohort, ensuring inputs are complete, aligned, and decision-useful.
Set a high bar for operating reviews, written deliverables, and business reporting—improving the quality of outputs, not just managing the process.
Review bottoms-up headcount plans during operating plan cycles and help leaders make sound tradeoffs based on business priorities and constraints.
Identify bottlenecks, close process gaps, and build durable mechanisms that help the organization scale effectively.
Operate effectively in ambiguity, using judgment to prioritize, simplify, and move work forward in a fast-changing environment.
