About Giga

Giga builds the electrical infrastructure that powers the modern world. We manufacture transformers, switchboards, and modular data centers for customers across the United States and the globe. Together, our team combines fresh perspectives with deep industry experience to solve real-world problems for our customers. We move fast and think practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

What you'll do

We are seeking a Project Development Manager within Bitcoin Mining and Data Center Site Operations to support the Head of Operations at Giga Energy and help streamline operations across our Bitcoin mining infrastructure projects and global manufacturing facilities. This role is pivotal in supporting our growing portfolio of BTC mining and Data Center sites through operational analysis, on-site coordination, third-party management, and strategic project implementation. You'll be tasked with improving performance, efficiency, and reliability across Giga's energy and mining deployments. You will also drive process improvements to make our mining project operations repeatable and scalable.

Familiarity with Bitcoin mining operations-both the technical and logistical aspects-is a plus, but not required. We are more concerned with finding candidates who are extremely data-driven, strategic, organized and thrive in ambiguous environments.

If based outside of our Houston, Long Beach or San Francisco hubs, this role will be based remotely from your home office. Occasional travel (approximately 4-8 days/month) to company onsites, Bitcoin mining locations, and manufacturing sites will be required.

Responsibilities

• Lead data-driven analysis of special projects and operational initiatives. Provide strategic insights to enhance the operational effectiveness of the organization
• Support operations across Bitcoin mining sites, working closely with, and managing, internal and external stakeholders to ensure uptime and efficiency
• Analyze key performance metrics (e.g., uptime, power utilization efficiency, hashrate) to identify areas for improvement
• Identify operational bottlenecks in mining site logistics or electrical infrastructure and propose solutions
• Driving the development of checklists, processes, and procedures to scale site operations
• Work closely with various internal teams, including product management and post sales operations to ensure alignment and successful implementation of special projects
• Present actionable recommendations to improve operational processes, backed by data and strategic insights
• Identify opportunities for automation or system enhancements to improve project execution and overall efficiency
• Communicate with Giga global offices and manufacturing sites to problem solve as needed

Requirements

• 2 - 4+ years of experience in Project Management, Project Development, or Consulting background, with a strong understanding of business operations and strategic analysis.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, capable of presenting ideas clearly to senior leadership
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across different teams
• High level of initiative, with a proactive and solutions-oriented approach to challenges
• Detail-oriented and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Comfort working in fast-paced, sometimes rugged environments-including remote mining locations
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), with advanced Excel skills is highly preferred

Bonus points

• Experience in energy, utilities, or manufacturing sectors
• Familiarity with Bitcoining mining operations
• Understanding of the electrical infrastructure supporting high-density compute loads

Benefits

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Unlimited PTO
• Parental leave
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Commuter benefits
• Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate
