Job summary

Riot Platforms Inc is seeking a Maintenance Strategy Manager to build and lead maintenance strategy across Riot’s data center portfolio. You will translate reliability analyses into asset maintenance programs, and own the global master maintenance index while driving insourcing initiatives and ensuring field-readiness of packages and technicians.

You will manage critical vendor relationships, partner with site leadership, and travel to support Riot’s portfolio of sites.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Facilities Management, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• CMRP or CMPS (Certificate in Maintenance Planning and Scheduling) a plus.

Responsibilities

• Lead the maintenance insourcing roadmap: set the criteria (criticality, specialization, cost, coverage, workforce readiness), sequence scopes, and enforce readiness gates (approved package, qualified technicians, tools and parts on site, site sign-off) before each vendor-to-internal transition.
• Set the standard for complete maintenance packages (SOPs/MOPs, task instructions, safety requirements, tooling and parts lists, required qualifications); develop them with EHS, site SMEs, OEMs, and vendors, and approve each one before a scope goes live.
• Define the skills, certifications, and qualification levels each scope requires based on code, regulatory, and OEM requirements, and partner with Technical Training so each scope’s training is ready when its package is.
• Build and govern the equipment strategy library, turning FMEA/RCM analysis into documented run-to-failure, preventive, condition-based, and predictive strategies for each asset class.
• Own the Master Maintenance Index, keeping every task template and interval linked to its governing equipment strategy; set interval review triggers and route changes outside documented tolerance through the Change Management Standard.
• Manage critical maintenance and repair vendors as strategic partners: qualify and onboard, set SLAs and two-way scorecards, run performance reviews and escalations, align vendor work to Riot standards, and manage transitions as scopes move in-house.
• Help sites prioritize by asset criticality and deferral risk, serve as the escalation point for strategy and vendor support, direct site-based Asset & Maintenance Planners, and elevate repeat or high-risk deferrals to leadership.
• Track PM completion, planned-to-emergency ratio, and reliability KPIs to correct over-maintenance and recurring failures, and supply failure history to the Data Center Asset Manager for Priority 1/2 repair, refurbish, or replace decisions.
