Job description

Overview

As Senior Site Deployment Manager, Site Deployment, you will lead a team responsible for OCI data center site deployment execution, including new builds, expansions, retrofits, rack deployment, infrastructure readiness, and operational transition activities. This manager-level role converts deployment requirements, portfolio priorities, and site readiness milestones into coordinated execution plans that enable safe, predictable, and operationally ready capacity delivery.

You will manage deployment managers, project coordinators, and cross-functional execution routines while partnering closely with Construction, Commissioning, Engineering, Network, Security, Data Center Operations, Logistics, Asset Management, Customer Experience, vendors, and site leadership. The role requires strong people leadership, project management discipline, field execution judgment, and the ability to drive accountability across teams that may not report directly into the deployment function.

This is a site and regional deployment leadership role. You will be accountable for deployment execution quality, readiness governance, issue resolution, team performance, and clean handoff to operations across assigned sites or programs, while helping scale consistent playbooks, dashboards, and operating mechanisms for the broader deployment organization.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Site Deployment function across assigned sites, campuses, regions, or complex deployment programs, ensuring work is executed safely, predictably, and in alignment with OCI capacity and operational readiness commitments.
• Manage and develop deployment managers, project coordinators, and senior individual contributors responsible for deployment planning, readiness tracking, field coordination, risk management, and turnover execution.
• Own deployment execution plans, milestones, readiness gates, risk logs, action registers, dependency trackers, dashboards, and leadership status reporting for assigned deployment scope.
• Coordinate across Construction, Commissioning, Engineering, Network, Security, Operations, Logistics, Supply Chain, vendors, and site leadership to align schedules, remove blockers, and maintain deployment momentum.
• Translate deployment requirements into field-ready schedules, owner-based action plans, acceptance criteria, handoff requirements, and operational readiness checklists.
• Drive resolution of deployment blockers related to access, safety, space readiness, power and cooling readiness, materials, tooling, documentation, change windows, site constraints, and operational procedures.
• Govern readiness reviews, deployment meetings, issue-resolution sessions, handoff reviews, lessons learned, and recurring leadership reporting rhythms.
• Ensure turnover readiness by validating commissioning evidence, deployment prerequisites, inventory readiness, trained support coverage, documentation completeness, system activation, and open-item ownership.
• Serve as an escalation point for deployment risks that may impact safety, schedule, capacity delivery, customer commitments, security, or day-one operational supportability.
• Maintain executive-ready summaries that clearly communicate schedule health, risk exposure, open decisions, blocker ownership, recovery actions, and recommended paths forward.
• Identify recurring deployment process gaps and improve playbooks, templates, dashboards, readiness standards, governance routines, and cross-functional operating mechanisms.
• Build a high-accountability team culture focused on safety, clear communication, operational excellence, predictable delivery, continuous improvement, and strong partnership with site operations.
