And many more.

• Manage interface between internal (Real Estate, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Infrastructure Deployment, Networking, Operations, Security, Fiber, Finance etc.) and external stakeholders (Contractors, Colo Vendors) to ensure on‑time and on‑budget delivery of Data Center projects.
• Build and maintain overall delivery program, risk register and project budget, submitting Capital Allocation Requests to Senior Leadership to secure finance for project delivery.
• Work with Capacity Planning, Energy and Real Estate teams to develop short & long‑term build strategies to meet forecast demand.
• Support continuous process improvement through leading workflow updates, documenting and implementing lessons learned and sharing knowledge across delivery teams to ensure EMEA‑wide efficiency improvements.
• Regularly report to senior leadership on status of key project metrics vs. commitment of your projects.
• Manage risk/opportunities, actions, escalations and communications.
