• Support technology risk tracking for go-lives and stabilization periods under senior guidance

Cross-Functional Technology Partnership

• Work closely with the Center of Excellence and the Director, Product Management – Data Center Technology & Robotics to build fluency in current and planned product capability
• Help capture and relay client and market signal into the product roadmap process
• Participate in Technology Advisory team collaboration across verticals to learn shared methodology and advisory standards

Required Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in data center infrastructure, DCIM/BMS/NOC technology, enterprise facilities technology, or a related technology/consulting field

• Ability to translate technical concepts into clear, client-friendly materials
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable supporting meetings with account and client stakeholders
• Eagerness to be mentored and to grow into an independent client-facing advisory role
