Data Center Project Manager

Job DescriptionJob Description

We are seeking an experienced Data Center Project Manager to lead infrastructure deployments and buildouts in a large-scale, high-performance environment. This role will focus on coordinating end-to-end delivery of data center projects, including hardware deployment, networking, and facility readiness.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how data centers are actually built and operated—not just a general IT project manager.

RequirementsKey Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end data center deployment projects (rack/stack, cabling, power, cooling, networking)
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams including engineering, operations, vendors, and field technicians
  • Develop and manage project plans, timelines, milestones, and deliverables
  • Identify risks, manage issues, and drive resolution across teams
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to technical requirements
  • Interface with stakeholders and provide regular status updates
  • Support large-scale infrastructure rollouts and migrations

Required Qualifications

  • 5–10+ years of project management experience
  • Direct experience managing data center or infrastructure deployment projects
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Data center environments
    • Hardware deployments (servers, networking gear)
    • Cabling, power, and physical infrastructure
  • Proven experience coordinating multiple teams and vendors
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Qualifications

  • Experience with hyperscale or large enterprise environments
  • Exposure to AI / GPU infrastructure or high-performance computing (HPC)
  • Familiarity with networking concepts (leaf-spine, switching, etc.)
  • PMP, Agile, or similar certification

? What We’re Looking For

  • Project managers who understand both technical and operational aspects of data center delivery
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced, high-visibility environments
  • Strong ownership mindset—drives projects, doesn’t just track them
  • Comfortable working onsite and coordinating field activities

? Important Note

This role requires hands-on data center project experience.
Candidates with only software development or non-infrastructure project management experience will not be considered.
