Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a seasoned TPM within the Data Center Infrastructure Build Out space to join one of our largest tech clients in the Bay Area. This person will:
🔹 Lead Global Infrastructure Data Center Build out programs.
o Drive execution of super lab and data center buildouts from concept approval through operational readiness.
o Own coordinated schedules linking power delivery, cooling deployment (air & liquid), rack installation, network readiness, and occupancy planning.
o Establish and enforce launch readiness criteria across global sites!
🔹 Orchestrate multi-functional alignment.
o Partner with Cloud Platform, SPT (System Product Teams), Facilities, Engineering, Real Estate, and Operations.
o Act as the connective tissue between tenant demand (product bring-up) and landlord infrastructure readiness (IPP).
o Facilitate executive business reviews with clear R/Y/G status and quantified risk.
🔹 Capacity & Space Planning Integration
o Translate portfolio-level demand signals into actionable infrastructure plans.
o Model rack density, MW capacity, bench allocation, and cooling distribution.
o Identify portfolio cooling gaps (liquid vs. air) and bring up risk mitigation strategies.
🔹 Benchmark Governance & Executive Reporting
o Develop measurable benchmarks tied to schedule predictability, MW delivery, rack availability, and readiness dates.
o Present concise executive updates to VP-level and senior leadership collaborators.
o Drive root-cause analysis and capture lessons learned into future build cycles.
🔹 Risk & Prioritization
o Identify infrastructure constraints early (power, chilled water, space).
o Lead scenario planning for site contingencies and global redistribution.
o Actively reduce schedule risk affecting product launch timelines.

This role can pay between $80-$89/hour depending on years of experience and skillset.
