About the role:

As the Regional Director for the U.S. South Central, you will lead operations across multiple data center sites, setting regional standards for performance, reliability, safety, and operational excellence. This role requires regular on-site presence to conduct audits, support emergency response, mentor local teams, and ensure consistent execution in the field.

You will guide site leadership, manage regional budgets and forecasts, and serve as the primary escalation point for critical incidents. You will also drive capacity planning and growth readiness, aligning MW, rack space, staffing, and workforce plans to customer demand, product roadmaps, and long-term infrastructure strategy.

Using KPIs, SLAs, dashboards, and operational data, you will track uptime, incident response, maintenance execution, safety performance, and regional readiness. You will standardize SOPs, MOPs, and EOPs across sites, ensuring documentation is current, auditable, and consistently followed.

You will partner with Product, Network Engineering, Security, Real Estate, Finance, Legal, HR, vendors, and service providers to support new deployments, manage risk, optimize costs, and keep regional priorities aligned. You will also represent the region in executive forums, providing clear updates on capacity, risk, performance, staffing, and operational health.

The ideal candidate will be based near a data center hub within the territory — Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama — and should expect frequent travel throughout the region.

In this role, you will:

• Ensure data center uptime and SLA adherence across the region
• Oversee incident response performance, escalation effectiveness, and post-incident corrective actions
• Manage preventive and corrective maintenance execution
• Ensure safety performance and compliance readiness
• Drive capacity readiness across MW, rack space, and staffing
• Manage regional budget performance, vendor performance, and cost opt
