You will work closely with Operations, Engineering, Facilities, IT/Network, Security, Real Estate, Procurement and external vendors often in the field to remove blockers and ensure teams have the infrastructure they need.

Requirements
3+ years of experience in technical program management, site/infrastructure operations, field operations, or equivalent
Strong technical background in site infrastructure, facilities and networking, with demonstrated hands-on depth beyond pure coordination
Willingness and ability to travel frequently to new and existing markets to push bring-ups forward and resolve field issues hands-on
