What You’ll Do

• About the Role

The Technical Project Manager (TPM), Data Center Security, coordinates technical security requirements across the end-to-end deployment of new data center sites and data hall expansions—from project signing and kickoff through construction, whitespace fitout, commissioning, and day-2 deployment.

Embedded in the Data Center TPM team, you’ll partner with Information Security, Construction, Facilities, Infrastructure Engineering, Networking, and Operations, as well as external general contractors, subcontractors, and MEP vendors. You’ll translate approved security requirements into project deliverables and ensure they are incorporated into build schedules, validated before handover, and supported operationally.

This role is suited to a technical project manager with hands‑on data center experience and an understanding of racking, stacking, power, cooling, cabling, and network architecture—and how security requirements can affect buildout. You’ll manage multiple projects with aggressive timelines, bringing clear ownership and follow‑through to security dependencies, risks, and readiness.

This role focuses on infrastructure and cybersecurity delivery within the data center build program. The Physical Security team retains ownership of facility access controls, surveillance, guarding, and other physical security programs. You’ll coordinate with that team where project dependencies overlap.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of technical project management experience in data center deployment, construction, whitespace fitout, or infrastructure delivery, including experience coordinating technical security requirements or remediation.
• Understanding of data center build sequences, commissioning, operational handover, and dependencies that can affect deployment timelines.
• Working knowledge of infrastructure security concepts, including network segmentation, privileged access, secure configuration, vulnerability management, and logging and monitoring.
• Experience partnering with construction, facilities, engineering, and operations teams, as well as general contractors, subcontractors, and equipment vendors.
• Ability to translate technical requirements into clear deliverables, schedules, owners, and acceptance criteria.
• Strong risk‑management and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to surface issues early and drive them to resolution.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to facilitate decisions among security specialists, technical teams, contractors, and project leadership.
• Ability to manage multiple large‑scale projects, prioritize competing demands, and adapt to aggressive timelines.
• Willingness to travel to data center sites as needed to meet with vendors and assess site conditions before and after deployment. Travel is expected to average 10–15%, with periods of up to 35–40% depending on project phase and site needs.

Preferred

• Experience delivering security workstreams for greenfield data centers or data hall expansions.
• Familiarity with the security of building management systems, electrical power monitoring systems, or other operational technology used in data centers.
• Experience supporting high‑performance computing, GPU infrastructure, or large‑scale cloud deployments.
• Experience coordinating security reviews, commissioning evidence, and operational readiness assessments.
• Relevant project management, data center, or security certifications.
