Job description
The Data Center 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.
**This is a Hybrid role-The team is looking for someone located in Louisiana that is willing to travel to Richland Parish a few times a month. **
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 escal blockers to senior leadership.
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
Integrate with construction and network schedules and maintain alignment between multiple schedule sources
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
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
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
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
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
Proficiency with project tracking tools
Hands-on experience with AI tools and agentic frameworks for workflow automation and reporting
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
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
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
Travel required: 15–30% to data center campuses for site visits and/or workshops
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
