This role is responsible for building and managing the systems, governance, and team capability required to keep operational documentation current across a rapidly scaling data center portfolio.\nYou will serve as a senior people leader within Central Data Center Operations, partnering with Facilities Operations, Site Readiness, Site Deployment, Commissioning, Engineering, Reliability, Safety, Security, Compliance, Training, and vendor teams to create documentation that supports safe execution, consistent operations, incident readiness, maintenance quality, and clean operational handoff.\nThis is not a general writing role. It is an operational documentation leadership role responsible for translating complex technical processes into controlled, repeatable, and auditable content that enables data center teams to execute safely and consistently at hyperscale.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn the technical documentation strategy and governance model for Central Data Center Operations, including documentation standards, lifecycle management, approval workflows, version control, ownership, and publishing discipline.\n\nLead and develop a team of documentation managers, technical writers, procedure specialists, knowledge managers, or matrixed contributors supporting data center operations content across the portfolio.\n\nEstablish and maintain enterprise documentation standards for SOPs, MOPs, EOPs, runbooks, maintenance work instructions, site readiness guides, turnover packages, knowledge articles, escalation guides, and operational playbooks.\n\nPartner with subject matter experts across facilities operations, engineering, commissioning, deployment, reliability, safety, security, compliance, and training to convert technical requirements into clear, actionable, field-ready procedures.\n\nCreate operating mechanisms that keep documentation aligned with infrastructure changes, commissioning outcomes, CMMS activation, incident learnings, maintenance strategy, vendor scope changes, safety requirements, and operational risk controls.\n\nDrive documentation quality through structured reviews, procedure validation, readability standards, risk checks, field feedback loops, audit trails, and periodic refresh cycles.\n\nEnsure critical procedures are written for safe execution in active data center environments, including clear prerequisites, roles and responsibilities, step sequencing, risk controls, rollback criteria, communications, and escalation paths.\n\nDevelop taxonomy, templates, metadata standards, document repositories, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms that improve searchability, adoption, compliance visibility, and content health across sites and regions.\n\nPartner with Training and Operations leaders to ensure documentation supports onboarding, qualification, recurrence training, abnormal-event readiness, and consistent execution across site teams.\n\nMeasure and report documentation health, including content currency, review compliance, open gaps, field adoption, critical procedure readiness, audit findings, and systemic documentation risks.\n\nManage documentation-related vendor support, tooling, content migration, localization, or digitization efforts where applicable, ensuring quality, security, and operational usability standards are met.\n\nChampion a culture of clarity, procedural discipline, safety, continuous improvement, and accountability, ensuring documentation reduces human error and strengthens operational resilience.\n\nIdeal Candidate Profile\n8+ years of experience in data center technical documentation, data center operations documentation, knowledge management, engineering support, or documentation governance within data center environments.\n\n3+ years of experience leading documentation teams, programs, vendors, or cross-functional documentation initiatives supporting data center operations.\n\nExperience building data center documentation systems, including SOPs, MOPs, EOPs, runbooks, maintenance procedures, knowledge bases, audit documentation, and controlled operating standards.\n\nStrong understanding of data center operations, including electrical, mechanical, controls, network, safety, change management, incident response, maintenance, and operational turnover.\n\nDemonstrated ability to work with data center technical subject matter experts and translate complex data center field processes into clear, accurate, and executable procedures.\n\nExperience implementing data center documentation governance, content lifecycle controls, review cycles, version management, metadata standards, content quality metrics, and continuous improvement mechanisms.\n\nBachelor’s degree in Technical Communication, Engineering, Operations, Information Systems, English, Communications, or related field preferred; equivalent data center technical documentation experience will be considered.\n\nSkills and Competencies\nSenior-level data center documentation leadership with strong operational judgment and the ability to prioritize documentation work based on data center safety, reliability, compliance, and execution risk.\n\nExcellent technical writing, editing, information architecture, and content governance skills for data center environments.\n\nAbility to create concise, field-usable data center procedures that reduce ambiguity, improve repeatability, and support safe execution during normal operations, maintenance, deployment, and abnormal conditions.\n\nStrong stakeholder management across data center operations, engineering, commissioning, deployment, reliability, safety, security, compliance, training, and vendor teams.\n\nStrong program-management discipline, including planning, prioritization, dependency management, issue tracking, metrics, reporting, and executive-ready communication for data center documentation programs.\n\nHigh attention to detail in data center procedure accuracy, terminology, version control, approval records, document hierarchy, and content consistency across a global data center portfolio.\n\nAbility to lead through influence, build trusted relationships with data center technical teams, and challenge unclear or incomplete documentation before it creates operational risk.\n\nBias for scalable data center documentation mechanisms, standardized templates, automation, digitization, knowledge reuse, and continuous improvement.\n\nPreferred Skills / Certifications\nExperience in hyperscale data centers, cloud infrastructure, colocation environments, utilities, industrial operations, manufacturing, aviation, healthcare, energy, or other mission-critical settings is strongly preferred.\n\nExperience managing controlled documentation for SOPs, MOPs, EOPs, change management, incident response, maintenance programs, safety procedures, commissioning turnover, or regulatory/audit requirements.\n\nFamiliarity with CMMS, DCIM, BMS, EPMS, SCADA, ticketing systems, learning management systems, document management systems, knowledge bases, or content management platforms.\n\nExperience with structured authoring, content taxonomy, metadata, document control, SharePoint/Confluence-style knowledge repositories, XML/DITA concepts, or digital procedure platforms is a plus.\n\nCertifications or training in technical communication, knowledge management, ITIL, PMP, Lean, Six Sigma, quality management, document control, or safety/compliance frameworks are a plus.\n\nExperience creating documentation for global audiences, multi-site operations, regulated environments, or teams with varying levels of technical depth.\n\nPhysical Demands / Work Environment\nThis is a mission-critical documentation leadership role supporting 24/7 data center operations where safety, uptime, procedural accuracy, and operational consistency are essential. Regular attendance, collaboration across time zones, schedule flexibility, and occasional support during major incidents, readiness milestones, audits, or urgent documentation updates may be required.\nTo perform these duties, you must be able to work in office, remote collaboration, construction, campus, and active data center environments as needed; walk sites; observe field procedures; participate in readiness reviews; and safely engage in documentation validation activities, with or without reasonable accommodation.\nMarket Alignment\nThis role profile reflects common marketplace expectations for senior technical documentation and data center operations documentation leadership roles at hyperscale and mission-critical infrastructure organizations.
