Position SummaryThe Data Center New Build Deployment Enablement Manager (DEM) serves as the central coordination point for network infrastructure deployment at new data center builds - from cable start through Production Ready (PR). This role is "the glue" between Design, Engineering, Construction and Network Deployment teams and all cross-functional partners, ensuring milestones are tracked, dates are committed, and teams are aligned across every phase of the network build.The DEM heavily influences cross-functional teams to provide and commit to dates, serves as the single source of truth for deployment milestones, and drives accountability when timelines slip. This is not a passive tracking role - it requires deep technical fluency in Data Center network infrastructure, the ability to navigate complex multi-team political dynamics, and the confidence to elevate blockers to senior leadership.Key ResponsibilitiesMilestone Coordination & TrackingOwn and maintain the New Build Deployment Tracker for assigned buildings - tracking milestones from Cable Ready to Production Ready (PR)Drive weekly New Build coordination calls with cross-functional and internal teamsTrack dependencies across multiple network layersIntegrate with construction and network schedules and maintain alignment between multiple schedule sourcesCross-Functional Leadership & CommunicationLead or co-lead New Build calls starting at cable start for data centers being builtPost weekly program updates - highlighting new/changed risks, milestone achievements, and upcoming milestone datesServe as the bridge between Construction Managers, Deployment Engineers, Connectivity Engineers,



and all supporting teamsInfluence cross-functional partners to provide and commit to datesFacilitate SEV creation and escalation for schedule risks and cross-team blockersSite Deployment ExecutionCoordinate network infrastructure deployment across multiple concurrent buildings (typically 2-4 simultaneous sites)Track hardware delivery SLAs, material logistics (warehouse locations, shipping from nearest facility), and upstream dependenciesUnderstand and manage differences between building typesMonitor and drive resolution of deployment blockersRisk Management & EscalationIdentify schedule risks early by understanding SLA back-off calculations and hardware delivery timelines relative to project milestonesCreate and manage SEVs for deployment blockersProactively communicate timeline impacts - provide specific information about expected impacts and revised timelinesEscalate to leadership when cross-functional commitments are not being metProcess Development & Continuous ImprovementContribute to template standardization across building typesConduct lessons-learned reviews to identify recurring gaps in the deployment processMentor and train incoming DEMs through reverse shadow model and milestone sessionsRequired Skills & QualificationsTechnical & Domain KnowledgeStrong understanding of data center network infrastructure and production network layersFamiliarity with network deployment processes: rack & stack, provisioning, circuit audits, device scanning,



and activation/undrain workflowsUnderstanding of material logistics: hardware delivery SLAs, BOM management, warehouse operations, and vendor coordinationProficiency with project tracking toolsHands-on experience with AI tools and agentic frameworks for workflow automation and reportingLeadership & Interpersonal SkillsProven ability to influence without authority across cross-functional teams simultaneouslyComfort navigating political dynamics between organizations - diplomatically asserting ownership of network deployment milestonesAbility to operate independently in ambiguous, high-pressure environments where schedules are aggressive and remediation cycles are frequentOutstanding communication skills - ability to distill complex multi-site status into clear leadership readoutsTrack record of driving accountability: following up, not accepting "we'll get to it next week" when milestones are at riskExperience5-8 years of progressive experience in project/program management within data center construction, network infrastructure, telecommunications, or critical facility deploymentExperience managing projects in the $1M-$10M range with multiple concurrent workstreams and cross-functional dependenciesDirect experience with data center construction phases: foundation, cable start, TFO, commissioning, and network turn-upExperience working with MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and field operations teams in a data center environmentPrior experience in hyperscale data center environments (Google, AWS, Microsoft, or similar) strongly preferredEducation & CertificationsBachelor's Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or related technical field - or equivalen#J-18808-Ljbffr
