Director, Hyperscaler Infrastructure Growth & Readiness

Req ID: 142258 
Remote Position: Yes 
Region: Americas 
Country: USA 

Summary

The Director, Hyperscaler Infrastructure Growth & Readiness prepares the business to deliver its approved growth plan and to continue scaling through 2028. The role assesses organizational, operational, and capacity readiness; identifies the most consequential gaps; and coordinates cross-functional plans to address them. It gives the VP & GM a clear, fact-based view of readiness, progress, risks, decisions required, and results.

This is a senior business-integrator role working across the leadership team. 

Key Responsibilities

• Translate growth plans into readiness requirements. Convert the approved business outlook into a cross-functional view of customer demand, program needs, leadership and skill requirements, capacity, supply, processes, and key dependencies. Make assumptions and risks explicit.
• Assess organizational and operational readiness. Evaluate leadership coverage, critical capabilities, decision rights, talent depth, processes, handoffs, and capacity against future business needs. Use interviews, operating data, and targeted workshops; a SWOT may be one input, not the primary deliverable.
• Develop and drive gap-closure plans. Prioritize capability, process, and resource gaps; recommend actions such as hiring, development, partnerships, process changes, or organizational changes; and coordinate with the accountable business and functional owners to advance approved actions.
• Connect customer and market context to internal plans. Translate customer requirements, demand signals, roadmaps, and market context into clear business priorities, readiness needs, and trade-offs.
• Enable cross-functional execution. Align stakeholders on dependencies, surface obstacles, clarify ownership, and escalate decisions that cannot be resolved at the working level. The role coordinates execution; GMs and functional leaders retain accountability for their own results.
• Establish measures and decision-quality visibility. Define, with Finance and functional leaders, a practical set of measures for readiness, execution, risks, and results. Provide the VP & GM with concise updates on progress, material variances, owners, decisions needed, and expected impact.
• Lead effectively in a remote, matrixed environment. Build trust across functions and locations, influence without relying solely on direct authority, and maintain disciplined follow-through.

Qualifications

• Senior leadership experience in infrastructure, hardware, technology manufacturing, or services; demonstrated success scaling a team or operation through significant growth.

• Understanding of cloud, networking, data-center, or related customer environments.

• Demonstrated ability to assess organizational and operational readiness and turn findings into practical, prioritized plans.

• Strong business and customer acumen, with the ability to translate requirements and market context into business priorities.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, influence without direct authority, and deliver in a remote, matrixed environment.
