Fast forward to now, and Data Centre Review has been developed into its own entity, and we are looking for a competent editor to take the reins and grow the brand further. We are looking to potentially rebrand DCR to incorporate the networking and telecoms element that is currently booming within the data centre industry.

  • Maintain editorial integrity across all DCR products
  • Liaising with sales to come up with new strategies to help drive revenue
  • Work with production on any re-branding/aesthetics
  • Attend industry events where necessary
