• Develop KPIs and dashboards for real-time visibility into capacity utilization and manage space and power capacity.
• Apply data analysis to inform strategic business decisions, prioritizing operational trade-offs and capital spend.
• Collaborate with data engineering and tooling teams to drive automation initiatives to improve capacity planning and operational efficiencies.
• Analyze how datacenter infrastructure and design changes impact capacity and provide feedback to teams and upper management.
• Partner with Supply Chain, Delivery, and Datacenter teams to execute and minimize risks on hardware deployment plans across all data centers.

Who You Are:

• Minimum 7–9 years of prior experience in datacenter capacity planning, infrastructure planning, or a related role.
• Strong knowledge of datacenter power distribution (UPS, PDUs, generators, redundancy levels), cooling systems, and space planning.
• Understanding of server, storage, and networking hardware and their impact on datacenter resource utilization.
• Experience managing large data structures (Excel, SQL, Looker/Tableau) to build reports and run analysis.
