ATC Deployment Enablement Manager

Role Overview

The Datacenter Network Engineering (DNE) Air Traffic Control (ATC) Deployment Enablement Manager is the senior program leader accountable for converting approved DNE network designs and portfolio priorities into predictable execution across a data center fleet.

What You Will Do

Own program execution from accepted intake through kickoff, material delivery, field installation, provisioning, validation, operational handoff, and closeout. Develop and maintain integrated schedules across DNE engineering, delivery engineering, Deployment, Design Engineering and Construction, site teams, logistics, sourcing, vendors, and operations.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The successful candidate will have enough technical fluency to understand data center fabric dependencies, challenge incomplete deployment packages, and lead informed conversations with engineers. The role does not configure network equipment or replace DNE’s design authority.

Requirements

• 10+ years of technical program or portfolio management experience in network infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, data centers, telecommunications, or another large-scale physical infrastructure environment.
• Demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-site deployment programs from intake through operational handoff.
• Experience building roadmaps, integrated schedules, readiness gates, dependency models, risk registers, and measurable delivery commitments.
• Proven ability to prioritize concurrent programs with shared hardware, engineering, and field resources.
• Ability to drive decisions, accountability, and conflict resolution across teams without direct authority.
• Strong executive communication skills, including concise written updates and confident leadership readouts.
• Working understanding of data center network fabrics, including front-end and backend boundaries, spine/leaf concepts, Top of Rack switching, fabric layers, physical topology, and redundancy.
• Understanding of the deployment lifecycle: design, BOM, sourcing, staging, rack and stack, cabling, provisioning, quality assurance, acceptance, and operational handoff.
• Ability to read and question an EDP, BOM, MOP, deployment workflow, dependency map, and site-readiness package.
• Ability to discuss hardware, optics, cabling, power, space, and site dependencies with engineers without needing to perform the engineering work.
• Experience operating in environments with evolving architectures, lifecycle retrofits, migrations, and first-of-a-kind deployment constraints.
• Experience with hardware demand planning, BOM management, material allocation, purchase-order or pool tracking, logistics, and supply-risk mitigation.
• Ability to connect supply status to schedule confidence and make evidence-based allocation recommendations.
• Experience with project and engineering work-management tools.
• Ability to build useful program metrics, dashboards, and automated reporting from imperfect operational data.
• Demonstrated success simplifying workflows, eliminating manual toil, and improving execution through standardization or automation.
• Strong attention to data quality, source-of-truth discipline, and decision traceability.
