📝 Enhancement Note: This role is positioned as a Senior Design Director, implying a significant level of responsibility and strategic influence beyond typical project management. The focus on "digital infrastructure" and "mission-critical facilities" strongly suggests a Revenue Operations or GTM alignment, as the successful delivery of these facilities directly impacts a company's ability to operate and scale its digital services, which is a core concern for GTM and RevOps leaders aiming to support business growth and ensure operational continuity. The emphasis on client advisory and business development further reinforces
