Job description

Operating at the critical intersection of strategy, communications, and business operations, you will assist the organization’s operating cadence, including OKRs, quarterly business reviews, yearly budgeting, and executive communications.

You will partner closely with leadership and organizational stakeholders to establish standard operating procedures, govern data integrity, and accelerate agreement velocity by designing frictionless approval workflows.

As markets shift, and business needs evolve, DPBO is at the frontline, adjusting course so the greater Data Center Investments and Development (DCID) team can respond. DPBO also serves as the connective tissue between DCID and cross-functional teams, coordinating collaboration and translating priorities. This gives DPBO a birds-eye view of the entire data center life-cycle, allowing team members to develop high-leverage expertise across acquisitions, contracting, technology and business operations.
