About the job
CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI™, a specialized cloud provider delivering GPU compute for AI and machine learning. Founded in 2017, CoreWeave became a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: CRWV) in March 2025. The Data Center (DC) Program and Cost Management team is responsible for program management across the entire lifecycle of CoreWeave's data centers.
We are seeking a Business Systems Manager to own the execution, coordination, governance, and driving outcomes for Data Center Operations tools used across CoreWeave's portfolio. In this role, you will serve as the primary interface between DC Operations and our IT, Systems Engineering, and Enterprise Applications teams — ensuring alignment across stakeholders, tracking progress against objectives, and providing governance for the platforms that DC Ops runs on, including DCIM, ITSM/Jira ticketing, Project Controls, CMMS, asset management, and adjacent business systems. You will not be writing code or administering servers. Instead, you will execute on operational pain points into clear product requirements, drive cross-functional alignment on tool selection and workflow design, partner with IT and Systems Engineering to deliver implementations, and own the change management, training, and adoption that make those tools work in production.
Responsibilities
- Lead the execution of business systems initiatives supporting Data Center Operations from project kickoff through production deployment.
- Serve as the single point of contact between DC Ops and IT, Systems Engineering, Enterprise Applications, Security, and Data/Analytics teams.
- Define standardized workflows and data models for core Data Center Operations processes — work order intake and dispatch, change management, incident and problem management, asset lifecycle, capacity and inventory tracking, project intake and stage-gating, and cost and schedule controls.
- Manage deployment and enhancement activities for DCIM capabilities, covering asset and capacity tracking, power and cooling visibility, rack-level inventory, and integration with networking and procurement systems.
- Direct implementation and enhancement of Jira (or equivalent ITSM platforms) supporting operational ticketing, project tracking, workflows, reporting, and automation.
- Partner with the DC Ops PMO and Construction teams to select, configure, and operationalize project controls platforms covering schedule, cost, change order, document control, and reporting workflows.
- Drive selection, implementation, and continuous improvement of the CMMS platform supporting preventive maintenance, work orders, spare parts inventory, and vendor service management.
- Manage implementation activities with software vendors, systems integrators, and internal technical teams.
- Lead the people side of system rollouts — communications, training, documentation, super-user networks, and adoption metrics.
- Develop and maintain project status reporting, implementation dashboards, adoption metrics, and operational readiness reporting.
- Maintain implementation documentation including deployment plans, testing scripts, training materials, process documentation, operational procedures, and lessons learned.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in business systems, IT business analysis, operations systems management, or technical program management with 3+ years supporting data center, mission-critical facilities, manufacturing, or comparable physical operations environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Hands-on experience defining requirements for and implementing at least two of the following: DCIM, CMMS, ITSM/Jira platforms, project controls, or asset/capacity management systems.
- Demonstrated track record of leading end-to-end system implementations; requirements gathering, vendor selection, configuration, integration, UAT, training, and post-go-live support.
- Strong working knowledge of how Data Center Operations run, including preventive maintenance, change management, capacity planning, work order workflows, project intake and stage-gating, and the data each of those generates.
- Comfortable in conversations with software engineers, IT architects, and security teams. Familiarity with REST APIs, integration patterns (iPaaS, middleware), data models, and basic SQL.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience scaling business systems in hyper-growth or M&A environments.
- Experience with hyperscale or AI/HPC data center environments, including high-density and liquid-cooled deployments.
- Familiarity with ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, or other enterprise platforms.
- Working knowledge of BI and analytics tooling (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and modern data warehouse concepts.
