Requirements
Domain Expert & Relationship Builder:
4+ years of experience in commercial construction (specifically mission-critical or data center builds), data center operations, infrastructure scaling, or management consulting within the tech/infrastructure space.
You understand the full lifecycle of a data center, from ground-breaking and construction to commissioning and ongoing facilities management.
You don't wait for permission or perfect data; you deliver results.
Strategic & Curious:
You think big-picture while staying fiercely grounded in data and execution.
Responsibilities
Take our data center vertical from 1 to 10.
You will drive operational excellence—whether that means streamlining complex site-access and safety protocols, standardizing onboarding for massive construction build-outs and hardware deployments, or expanding our footprint in key markets—until the vertical is a massive, self-sustaining engine.
Strategic Execution & Partnership Expansion:
Refine and implement Instawork’s growth strategy for the data center space.
Cultivate, grow, and own relationships with top-tier general contractors, data center operators, colocation providers, and infrastructure tech giants, turning initial pilots into enterprise-wide deployments.
