Program Manager

Join Vertiv and help shape the future of AI infrastructure.

As demand for AI and hyperscale data centres continues to accelerate, Vertiv is expanding its Busbar business and is looking for talented Program Managers to join our New Product Development & Introduction (NPDI) team.

Our customers include some of the world's largest technology companies, including AWS, Google and Microsoft, and we're developing the next generation of critical power distribution solutions that support their rapidly growing infrastructure.

About Busbar

Busbar is an advanced power distribution system that delivers electricity from the main power source to servers, UPS systems, cooling equipment and other critical loads within data centres. Compared to traditional cable-based systems, Busbar solutions are more efficient, modular and scalable - making them a key technology for modern AI and hyperscale facilities.

If you enjoy bringing cross-functional teams together, driving new product launches and working on technology that powers the world's largest data centres, we'd love to hear from you.
