\n
• Providing operational oversight and leadership across three data centres (across NSW and VIC)

• Acting as the senior on-the-ground leader for a combined team of around 30 site-based staff
\n
• Coaching, guiding and, where needed, challenging site-level teams using your own deep operational knowledge
\n
• Partnering with senior leadership on operational reporting and performance
\n
• Playing a key role in future site expansion planning as the business grows

What We're Looking For

\n

\n
• Experience in data centre operations, with solid hands-on knowledge of DC facility operations
\n
• Strong technical grounding in critical DC infrastructure, paired with the ability to lead through site managers
\n
• Comfortable being genuinely on-site and hands-on, based from a data centre rather than a corporate office
\n
• Willing to be mobile across Sydney sites and travel to Melbourne periodically
\n
• Motivated by the chance to grow the role as the business expands
