• Partner with engineering and technical SMEs to align service procedures with system design, coolant compatibility, safety requirements, warranty considerations, and customer operating specifications.
• Build the execution playbook required for repeatable delivery across project services, field services, partners, and regional operations teams.

Pricing, Commercialization & Margin Governance

• Develop pricing models for project-based fluid management services, including fixed-price packages, unit-based pricing, project-specific estimates, and regional pricing guidance.
• Partner with Sales, Finance, Procurement, and regional teams to establish margin targets, cost models, pricing guardrails, and approval thresholds by service type and region.
• Create customer-facing value propositions that position fluid management as a critical uptime, commissioning, and lifecycle reliability service for high-density data centers.
• Support bid teams and regional sales organizations with pricing tools, SOW language, commercial assumptions, and escalation guidance.

Global Deployment & Regional Expansion

• Lead the global rollout of the fluid management service offering, ensuring regional teams have the tools, training, pricing, supplier alignment, and execution standards required to deliver consistently.
• Develop launch plans, deployment playbooks, regional readiness criteria, training materials, and governance routines to accelerate adoption across all regions.

• Monitor adoption, pipeline conversion, execution quality, profitability, and customer outcomes to continuously improve the global offering.

Partner, Supplier & Ecosystem Management

• Partner with strategic fluid, chemical, filtration, testing, and logistics providers to define roles, responsibilities, service boundaries, and commercial models.
• Coordinate with supply chain and regional operations to ensure availability of DI water, glycol/coolant blends, filtration equipment, sampling kits, lab testing, and related project materials.
• Create governance for partner-led scope to ensure consistent quality, safety, reporting, and customer experience under the Vertiv service model.

Lifecycle Performance & Digital Integration

• Partner with digital and monitoring teams to connect fluid condition, filtration events, sampling results, and equipment health data into lifecycle service insights where applicable.
• Use field data, customer feedback, project results, and regional performance metrics to refine service standards, pricing, and execution models.
• Drive continuous improvement in service repeatability, project margin, execution consistency, and customer confidence in Vertiv’s high-density data center service capabilities.
