## About the role

A data center only matters if it stays up. As Director of Operations , you own what happens after commissioning ends and the facility goes live — the day-to-day reliability, staffing, maintenance, and performance of Giga's data centers in operation. You'll build and run the operating standard across our portfolio: how facilities are staffed, how uptime is protected, how maintenance is scheduled, and how issues get resolved before they become incidents.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience in facility or data center operations, with 5+ years managing operations teams across multiple sites
- Demonstrated experience owning uptime, maintenance, and staffing for mission-critical or large-scale industrial facilities
- Track record building or scaling an operations function, standard, or team across a growing portfolio
- Strong working knowledge of MEP and electrical systems relevant to facility operations (generators, UPS, switchgear, cooling infrastructure, BMS/controls)
- Experience managing operations budgets and vendor/service contracts across multiple simultaneous sites
- Strong track record presenting to and advising executive-level stakeholders on operational risk and performance
