Senior Director, System Engineering & Intelligence, Global

Role description

Role Overview

As Senior Director, System Engineering & Intelligence, you will bring data centre insight together, owning the equipment digital thread and the telemetry and analytics foundation that lets the Nscale Operational Systems (NOS) act on our physical estate with confidence.

What You Will Do

Set strategy and investment, own the asset master and governance, lead cleansing and validation-at-source programmes, build the telemetry foundation, publish data-quality scores, make maintenance and reliability trustworthy, move NOS intelligence toward autonomy, progress control loops, assure site readiness, and act as the senior escalation point.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role turns a fragmented set of systems into a single, trusted source of truth for how Nscale's data centres are built, run, and improved. Success will be measured by fewer unplanned incidents, faster detection and diagnosis, and more interventions triggered by prediction rather than alarms.

• Experience with ITIL-aligned operations and controlled MOP, LOTO, and permit-to-work regimes
• Credibility with both facilities engineers and software teams
• A track record of building a function from scratch

Benefits

• Highly competitive package, including base salary and equity
• Flexible workplace
• Dynamic progression plan
• Human-first flexibility
