VP Data Centre Operations

We are building a new class of vertically integrated AI infrastructure that unites power, data centre environments, and GPU clusters into a single industrial‑scale system. As the VP of Data Centre Operations, you will lead the operational backbone of this platform. This is a high‑stakes, hands‑on leadership role focused on running live infrastructure from the earliest stages of deployment. You will define the operational model from day one and ensure our high‑density environments are stable, performant, and ready for enterprise‑grade AI workloads.

Key Responsibilities

• Operational Leadership: Own the end‑to‑end operations of high‑density GPU infrastructure, scaling from the first cluster to multiple global regions.
• Strategic Partnerships: Manage relationships with colocation providers to optimise live environments and ensure strict adherence to SLAs.
• Incident Management: Personally lead the response to critical incidents, ensuring rapid resolution under pressure in a 24/7 production environment.
• Process Engineering: Build and implement the operational standards, processes, and tooling required to transition from build‑phase to live operations.
• Team Building: Recruit and lead a high‑performance operations organisation capable of supporting hyperscale and AI‑native customers.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Extensive experience operating hyperscale or large‑scale data centre environments with direct responsibility for uptime.
• Proven track record in incident management and running mission‑critical production environments under intense pressure.
• Deep technical understanding of power, cooling, and the physical infrastructure required for high‑density compute.
• Experience building operations teams from the ground up in early‑stage or rapidly scaling environments.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience specifically with GPU clusters or AI‑specialist infrastructure.
• Previous leadership roles within a major Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or high‑performance computing (HPC) firm.
