Key Responsibilities

• Client Technology Strategy & Growth (Supporting)

  • Research and maintain platform and competitive intelligence (e.g., Schneider EcoStruxure, Vertiv Trellis, IBM TRIRIGA/Envizi, Nlyte, Device42) to inform advisory recommendations.

  • Support renewal, expansion, and RFP efforts with research, positioning materials, and proof points.
• Operational Escalation & Resolution (Assisting)
  • Assist in tracking and coordinating data center technology delivery issues — implementation, UAT, integration, and change order challenges — escalating to the Managing Director as needed.
  • Help document root-cause patterns across accounts (e.g., change order management, approval workflows, schedule risk) to support playbook development.
  • Support technology risk tracking for go-lives and stabilization periods under senior guidance.
• Cross-Functional Technology Partnership
  • Work closely with the Center of Excellence and the Director, Product Management – Data Center Technology & Robotics to build fluency in current and planned product capability.
