We drive alignment on what we should build, where, when, and who may occupy it through our Space+Power SDMs an extensive set of optimization processes which provides demand allocation and data center building orders. Within DCP, this role is for a senior independent contributor (IC) who will partner cross-functionally to enable rapid and coordinated planning of our data center building capacity.
