## Data Center New Build Deployment Enablement Manager (DEM)Apply: Remote, CO: Full time: Posted Today: R0017918## Position SummaryThe 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 escalate blockers to senior leadership. ## Key Responsibilities### Milestone Coordination & Tracking* Own 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 teams* Track dependencies across multiple network layers* Integrate with construction and network schedules and maintain alignment between multiple schedule sources ### Cross-Functional Leadership & Communication* Lead or co-lead New Build calls starting at cable start for data centers being built* Post weekly program updates — highlighting new/changed risks, milestone achievements, and upcoming milestone dates* Serve as the bridge between Construction Managers, Deployment Engineers, Connectivity Engineers, and all supporting teams* Influence cross-functional partners to provide and commit to dates* Facilitate SEV creation and escalation for schedule risks and cross-team blockers ### Site Deployment Execution* Coordinate 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 dependencies* Understand and manage differences between building types* Monitor and drive resolution of deployment blockers ### Risk Management & Escalation* Identify schedule risks early by understanding SLA back-off calculations and hardware delivery timelines relative to project milestones* Create and manage SEVs for deployment blockers* Proactively communicate timeline impacts — provide specific information about expected impacts and revised timelines* Escalate to leadership when cross-functional commitments are not being met ### Process Development & Continuous Improvement* Contribute to template standardization across building types* Conduct lessons-learned reviews to identify recurring gaps in the deployment process* Mentor and train incoming DEMs through reverse shadow model and milestone sessions ## Required Skills & Qualifications### Technical & Domain Knowledge* Strong understanding of data center network infrastructure and production network layers* Familiarity with network deployment processes: rack & stack, provisioning, circuit audits, device scanning, and activation/undrain workflows* Understanding of material logistics: hardware delivery SLAs, BOM management, warehouse operations, and vendor coordination* Ability to read and interpret network port maps and deployment tracker structures* Proficiency with project tracking tools* Hands-on experience with AI tools and agentic frameworks for workflow automation and reporting ### Leadership & Interpersonal Skills* Proven ability to influence without authority across cross-functional teams simultaneously* Comfort navigating political dynamics between organizations — diplomatically asserting ownership of network deployment milestones* Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, high-pressure environments where schedules are aggressive and remediation cycles are frequent* Outstanding communication skills — ability to distill complex multi-site status into clear leadership readouts* Track record of driving accountability: following up, not accepting \"we'll get to it next week\" when milestones are at risk ### Experience* **5–8 years** of progressive experience in project/program management within **data center construction, network infrastructure, telecommunications, or critical facility deployment*** Experience managing projects in the **$1M–$10M range** with multiple concurrent workstreams and cross-functional dependencies* Direct experience with data center construction phases: foundation, cable start, TFO, commissioning, and network turn-up* Experience working with MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and field operations teams in a data center environment* Prior experience in hyperscale data center environments (Google, AWS, Microsoft, or similar) strongly preferred ## Education & Certifications* **Bachelor's Degree** in Engineering, Construction Management, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or related technical field — **or equivalent professional experience** (8+ years in data center/network deployment)* **PMP, CAPM, or CSM** certification preferred but not required* BICSI RCDD, CDCDP, or similar data center/cabling certifications are a plus ## Additional Requirements* Travel required: **25–40%** to data center campuses for site visits, training, and deployment coordination* Ability to obtain site access badges and pass background checks for data center facilities* Flexibility to support critical deployment milestones outside standard hours (energization events, SEV response)* Strong commitment to fostering an inclusive, collaborative work environment **Salary Range**$92,880.00 - $154,800.00 USD (Salary)* *Please note that the salary information provided herein is base pay only (gross); it does not include other forms of compensation which may or may not apply to this specific position, namely, performance-based bonuses, benefits-related payments, or other general incentives - none of which are guaranteed, may be subject to specific eligibility requirements, and are wholly within the discretion of Astreya to remit.** *Further, the salary information noted above is a range that consists of a minimum and maximum rate of pay for this specific position.
