People Business Partner - Data Center Operations

What You’ll Do:

As a People Business Partner for Data Center Operations, you’ll enable leaders to make data-driven people decisions that support execution and growth. You’ll own and drive core people processes, balancing executional rigor with speed. You’ll identify patterns early, surface insights quickly, and help leaders course-correct before people challenges impact delivery. The focus of this role is reducing friction, increasing clarity, and amplifying leadership impact as the organization scales.

About the role:

This role sits at the center of Data Center Operations, supporting leaders through a period of rapid growth and change. You operate as a pragmatic people partner—building scalable practices, coaching leaders through challenges, and removing obstacles that slow teams down.

The role blends sound judgment and business acumen with a bias for action, shaping initiatives that improve organizational health and employee experience. This role also includes travel (about 35%) to Data Center sites to build and maintain strong relationships with site leaders.

Success in this role means turning people priorities into practical, high-value solutions that help teams operate effectively and scale with confidence. We’re looking for an experienced People Business Partner familiar with supporting data center operations or similar environments and is comfortable supporting fast-paced, frontline and site‑based teams.

Who You Are:

• Strong judgment on complex people scenarios including employee relations and workplace issues, with a track record of partnering with Legal/ER as needed to find appropriate outcomes quickly.
• Ability to simplify complexity and turn messy input from multiple sites into clear recommendations and action plans.
• Balance business needs and employee experience using critical thinking and situational discernment; this role is neither a strict “policy enforcer” or an uncritical “yes person.”
• Collaborative style that builds trust quickly with both leaders and employees.
• Energized by being close to the operation—comfortable walking sites, talking with technicians, and presenting themes to senior leaders.
• Ability to drive on talent management practices - including performance review cycles - upholding company standards and prioritizing fairness and consistency.

If you’re excited to support teams who are at the front lines of the operations of the company, and build practical, scalable people solutions as we grow, we’d love to hear from you.

Investing in our people is one of our top priorities, and we value candidates who can bring their diversified experiences to our teams. Here are some qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. We'd love to talk about whether this aligns with your experience and interests and what you’re excited to work on next.

Your impact will be felt across various dimensions:

• Strategic Partnership: Serve as a thought partner to Data Center Operations leaders, helping translate business goals into people decisions that improve execution, support growth, and strengthen organizational effectiveness.
• Execute with Impact: Balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, stepping into the details when needed to ensure people programs land and deliver measurable impact.
• Pattern Recognition & Insights: Leverage data, observations, and experience to identify recurring patterns—surfacing signals proactively and synthesizing them into clear actions for leaders.
• Enable Change at Speed: Manage organizational change in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, ensuring seamless transitions, transparency and business continuity.
• Talent Management: Partner with leaders to drive workforce planning activities, enabling consistent and defensible people decisions.
• People Risk & Workplace Advisory: Consult on complex people matters, balancing risk, speed, and business practicality.
• Cross-functional Delivery: Collaborate effectively with People Team COEs and other stakeholders to deliver scalable, business-aligned people solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.

Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk.

• You love to partner closely with leaders, translate business needs into practical people solutions, and bring structure to fast-moving, operational environments.
• You’re curious about what drives team effectiveness—spotting patterns, understanding root causes, and using data and observation to improve how teams work and grow.
• You’re an expert in navigating complex people matters with sound judgment, coaching leaders through change, and driving talent practices with fairness, clarity, and consistency.
