Data Center Site Manager

IREN is a leading AI Cloud Service Provider, delivering large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference.  IREN's vertically integrated platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and data centers in renewable-rich regions across the U.S. and Canada. 

 With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.    

The Data Center Site Manager will lead all day-to-day operations and serves as the technical authority on site, responsible for understanding how critical systems work together and ensuring teams operate them to standard. 

This is not a hands-on engineering role, but it does require sufficient technical depth to:

• Make informed operational decisions
• Challenge and guide technical teams and vendors
• Lead incident response and root-cause analysis
• Ensure maintenance and operational practices align with system design, risk tolerances and SLA

The role balances technical oversight, people leadership, safety, and communication across the site and in a leadership capacity. 

While direct data center experience is beneficial, we are equally open to leaders from mission-critical environments such as oil & gas, hospitals, utilities, or industrial facilities.

• Required

  • Experience leading operations in mission-critical or industrial environments (data centers, oil & gas, utilities, hospitals, manufacturing, etc.)
  • Proven people leadership experience with technical or facilities-based teams
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to report clearly and lead confidently
  • Sufficient technical understanding to manage electrical, mechanical, and facilities systems at a high level

• Preferred 

  • Data center or critical facilities experience
  • Background in electrical, mechanical, facilities, or technical operations
  • Exposure to regulated or safety-focused environments
