Responsibilities

As a Technical Program Manager for Deployments, you will own the end-to-end program delivery required to bring data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, coordinating across construction, infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, procurement, and operations teams to ensure deployment readiness and successful go-lives.
This role requires an ownership mindset. You will be expected to move programs forward with sometimes incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps, and ensure progress across teams responsible for construction, networking, hardware, operations, and beyond. While physical installation and construction execution are owned by partner teams, you are accountable for overall delivery outcomes and are expected to fill gaps before they become blockers.
The best candidates for this role bring deep experience in the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment, not just one or the other. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries.
Own program delivery for data hall and AI cluster activation, from planning through operational handoff
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations execution
Translate hyperscale AI/GPU and DLC infrastructure requirements into actionable deployment plans
Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance
Drive alignment across teams operating at different speeds, scopes, and time zones – including vendor and contractor partners
Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the deployment lifecycle.
Operate effectively in ambiguity, making progress with incomplete information and evolving requirements
Develop and drive executive-level program status briefings that clearly communicate schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalations paths
Maintain clear, current program artifacts: schedules, RACI matrices, risk registers, decision logs, and deployment runbooks

Required

5+ years experience in delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs in fast-moving environments
Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure, including power density, cooling, networking, and deployment sequencing
Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment: candidates who are network only or construction only will not be a fit
Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities impact deployment readiness and sequencing
Proven ability to lead through influence rather than direct ownership of execution teams
Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, understanding schedule and reputational risks
Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including planning for staggered milestones
Able to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
Experience with long-lead procurement processes, and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines
Actively collaborate with SMEs across multiple domains to validate plans and resolve gaps
Comfortable operating with limited process and evolving inputs in a high-growth, intense environment
Demonstrated ability to take initiative, fill gaps, and drive execution beyond defined scope, without being directed to do so

Preferred

DCD, PMP, CDCPM, CDCMP, CDCP or DCDC Certification(s)
ITIL Foundation Certification
JIRA, Smartsheet, or similar project tracking and workflow management experience
Knowledge of infrastructure automation and deployment tools
Experience managing BPO or contract labor pools during large-scale hardware deployment phases
Background in material coordination or logistics management at scale during active deployment (receiving, cycle counting, site-to-site transfers)
