About DayOne Data Centers
DayOne Data Centers is a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform that develops and operates next-generation data centers across Asia Pacific and Europe. Trusted by leading hyperscalers and businesses, the company engineers, builds, and operates high-capacity, AI-ready campuses with speed, scale, and reliability.
About DayOne
DayOne builds and operates hyperscale data centers across nine markets in APAC and Europe. We raised US$4.5B in Series C funding and are in active build across the region. As DayOne’s footprint grows across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, the client relationships behind that infrastructure need the same level of accountability as the build itself — this role owns that.
Across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Hong Kong, DayOne operates some of the region’s most active hyperscale campuses — from Johor’s largest LEED-certified data center footprint to Thailand’s build toward its first 1GW platform. This role can be based in any of these markets, working alongside local delivery teams on live client accounts.
About the Role
You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for customers across project delivery and ongoing service operations, owning outcomes from initial construction through to live SLA performance. This is a senior, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of project management, technical delivery, and client relationship management. You’ll lead virtual delivery teams, manage the full lifecycle of data center construction and customization projects, and be accountable for service quality once the facility is live.
