Job summary

CloudFirst is seeking a Data Center Manager to lead on-site data-center operations from our Marietta, GA location. You will manage the Atlanta facility and partner sites, oversee the on-site team, and own colocation relationships, contracts, and costs.

You will drive budget accountability, ensure compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS, and optimize capacity, power, cooling, and asset lifecycle across multisite data centers.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing data-center facilities or operations, including leading an on-site team.
• Budget or P&L accountability for a facility, department, or site.
• Multisite or colocation operations experience, including managing remote sites through contractors and smart-hands.
• Working knowledge of physical data-center infrastructure: power, cooling, rack and cabling, power density, and shipping and receiving of hardware.
• Experience producing and maintaining physical-security and environmental compliance evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS audits.
• Leadership of a small on-site team, with attention to detail and strong organizational and time-management skills.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day operations of CloudFirst’s data-center facilities in Atlanta and partner sites, and manage the on-site data-center operations staff.
• Manage colocation and vendor relationships (colo providers, smart-hands and contractors at remote sites), and own the associated contracts, SLAs, and costs.
• Carry facility cost and P&L accountability: build and manage the facilities budget, track and allocate deployment and facility costs to projects and clients, and drive cost efficiency across sites.
• Maintain physical-controls compliance evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS, including data-center access logs, CCTV, badging, and environmental monitoring, and support audits.
• Own the hardware and asset lifecycle: inventory and asset tracking across the fleet, stock thresholds and availability, shipping and receiving, deployment, and decommissioning.
• Manage capacity and planning: power density, rack layout, cooling, and growth planning across the footprint.
• Lead facility build-outs, consolidations, and closures with cost discipline, including site transitions and decommissions.
• Maintain facilities documentation: installation guides, runbooks, and site templates, so operations are repeatable and transferable.
• Build coverage depth: cross-train and document so critical facility functions have more than one trained, access-provisioned owner.
