• Review global cloud market trends such as hyperscale growth, the move toward hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and changing demand for cloud services, then use those insights to guide infrastructure planning decisions.
• Translate advanced technical requirements for cloud infrastructure, including power density, cooling, network connectivity, latency, security, and compliance, into concrete specifications that can be used for infrastructure planning and execution.
• Help define and build new products when needed so that future infrastructure needs for cloud and AI expansion can be met.
• Lead complex, multi-disciplinary programs from initiation through delivery, keeping requirements, risks, schedules, and cross-functional communication organized throughout the lifecycle.
• Communicate analyses and recommendations clearly to senior leaders while also discussing technical tradeoffs with engineering partners.

What the role requires

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Five or more years of experience managing technical projects in a changing industry.
• Experience with planning, evaluating, and negotiating data center or network infrastructure, including work connected to launching new regions.
• Five or more years of experience in data centers, network infrastructure, cloud computing, or another technical infrastructure domain.
• Proven ability to work with executive leadership, supported by strong communication, discussion, and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfort with financial modeling and cost-optimization methods for infrastructure, such as data center or network environments.
• Deep familiarity with hyperscale cloud architecture, networking, power, or cooling technologies.
• Ability to operate in English, since the company states that English proficiency is required for all roles unless the posting says otherwise.
