Summary

High-leverage business operations role embedded in the Datacenter organization, partnering with senior leaders to build operating rhythms, planning processes, and execution mechanisms.

About the role

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.

  • Experience in business operations, program management, or operational leadership in a datacenter, infrastructure, or other complex technical environment.
  • Highly analytical, structured, and execution oriented.
  • 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.
