Lessor Relationship Manager

Microsoft understands the criticality of our eco-system and we have developed key stakeholder partnerships across the Globe to enable delivery of data center capacity for our customers. Whether we build our own data centers, or lease data center space from third parties, our customers expect best in class services, 24 x 7, and 100% uptime. With this in mind, Microsoft recognizes our lessor community as our team, and our goal is to drive a seamless and standard operation across all data centers globally. As part of our drive to be the best, we are creating a new team to specifically focus on our lessor partnerships, to create a focused approach to our lessor performance management, and to drive a culture of lessor relationship improvements through analysis of current performance and identification and roll out of initiatives and programs to improve where needed. The team will be the conduit between the lessors and our internal subject matter experts, to manage our customer needs and to ensure 100% uptime during operations. Supporting our global leasing team, this team will work very closely within our LLD organisation, and partner with our CO+I teams as we solidify our lessor partnerships globally. The Lessor Relationship Managers must be strong communicators with the ability to influence others to achieve great things, with a blend of strong analytics & insight development, program management and data centre operations knowledge.
