A Snapshot
As AirTrunk scales into a pan-Asia platform and evolves toward a lifecycle-led, ops-as-a-service model, the VP, Asset & Capital Management plays a critical role in shaping how we own and optimise our assets end-to-end.
This role, reporting to the Chief Data Centre Officer (CDCO), is accountable for asset performance, lifecycle strategy, and capital investment across our operating data centre portfolio. You will lead how assets are planned, commissioned, maintained, and reinvested - ensuring they deliver reliability, efficiency, and long-term value.
Sitting at the intersection of design, development, and operations, you will ensure what we build is operable, scalable, and optimised from day one - while embedding data-driven lifecycle management, and disciplined capital allocation.
You will lead a multi-disciplinary function spanning Asset Management, Capital Works, Commissioning & Ops Readiness, Lifecycle Planning, Asset Data, and Commercials, and play a key role in enabling AirTrunk’s next phase of growth.
