Job description

We’re looking for a Data Center Manager to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the 24/7 availability, security, and efficiency of our data center environment, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.

This is an evergreen requisition. We review applications on a rolling basis and will consider you for current openings across all of our sites, as well as future opportunities as we continue to scale.

What You’ll Do

  • People Management: Lead, mentor, and schedule a team of 8 Data Center Technicians, fostering a culture of technical excellence and accountability.
  • Performance Tracking: Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and skill-gap assessments to ensure the team stays ahead of evolving technologies (e.g., liquid cooling, AI-optimized racking).
  • Workflow Optimization: Oversee the Inventory/RMA Specialist to ensure hardware replacement cycles are lean and that “dead on arrival” (DOA) equipment is processed with minimal downtime.
  • Infrastructure Oversight: Manage the installation, cabling, and decommissioning of server, storage, and networking hardware.
  • Uptime Management: Act as the primary escalation point for data center incidents, coordinating emergency repairs and root cause analysis (RCA).
  • Capacity Planning: Monitor power, cooling, and space utilization. Partner with the Director to forecast future growth and avoid “stranded capacity.”
  • Vendor Management: Supervise third-party contractors (HVAC, Electrical, Security) to ensure maintenance is performed without disrupting operations.
  • Asset Management: Ensure 100% accuracy in the DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) database.
  • Security & Safety: Enforce strict physical security protocols and OSHA safety standards.
  • Audit Readiness: Lead the facility through SOC2, ISO, or HIPAA compliance audits by maintaining pristine documentation and procedural logs.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in data center operations, with at least 2 years in a formal leadership or supervisory role.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting 24/7 customer-facing operations, including shift scheduling and on-call management
  • Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g. Grafana, Prometheus, or similar)
  • Proven ability to hire, train, and lead technical operations teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in high-pressure incident scenarios
  • Experience with ticketing and incident tracking systems (e.g., PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Jira, or equivalent), * Certified Data Center Professional (CDCP) or Specialist (CDCS).
  • ITIL Foundation certification.
  • Project Management Professional (PMP) or similar.
  • OSHA10 or higher certification

Benefits & conditions

  • 100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance for Employees

  • Company Health Savings Account Contributions

  • 100% paid Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance for Employees

  • Life and Voluntary Supplemental Insurance Options

  • Other Insurance Options, such as Pet & Legal Insurance

  • Various Supplementary Health Benefits, such as discounted Virtual Healthcare Appointments and Serious Illness Support

  • Flexible Spending Account

  • 401(k)

  • Employee Assistance Program

  • Flexible PTO

  • Paid Holidays

  • Parental Leave

  • Other In-Office Perks
