• Support leadership reviews and provide clear communication on progress, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Track regional performance metrics and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Analyze KPIs related to power readiness, delivery timelines, and cost efficiency.
• Recommend corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support lease negotiations and evaluate commercial terms for EMEA sites.
• Collaborate with Finance to conduct cost analysis, budgeting, and forecasting.
  Provide input on vendor performance and commercial risk.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with landlords, utilities, vendors, and internal teams across EMEA.
• Navigate regional regulatory and permitting requirements to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Conduct deep research into EMEA markets, including power, permitting, construction, labor, and competitive landscapes.
• Provide insights to guide market prioritization and regional expansion strategy.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records for leases, capacity plans, milestones, and financials.
• Support executive reporting and ensure data quality across systems and dashboards.
  

Who You Are:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in data center operations, capacity planning, program or project management, or data center delivery.
