Responsibilities

As Program Manager, Compute Transformation, you will lead cross-functional initiatives that connect purchasing, operations, billing, accounting, and financial planning across our compute commitments and our data center initiatives. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with ownership of problem definition, process design, integrated planning, and end-to-end delivery.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA, with a hybrid work model of 3 days per week in the office.
Own an integrated compute and infra transformation plan: workstreams, milestones, critical dependencies, resources, decision logs, and acceptance criteria. Drive execution from problem definition through production adoption.
Map current workflows and design scalable processes from demand planning, contracting, delivery & acceptance, receiving & operations, invoicing, payment, and month-end close. Clarify ownership, handoffs, evidence, and exception paths.
Enable source of truth systems that cover both operational needs and accounting / finance needs for data center construction, operations, and maintenance.
Drive consistent tracking of contracts, tranches, delivery events, and capacity acceptance. Connect committed spend to provisioned, accepted, allocated, and used capacity to support forecasting and financial review.
Coordinate reliable ingestion and normalization of cloud service provider usage, billing, invoice, and delivery data. Establish data owners, completeness checks, and traceability to financial outputs.
Improve compute billing, accrual, and allocation processes through consistent pricing rules, SKU mappings, telemetry and organizational tags, reconciliations, and controlled handling of manual adjustments.
Partner with application, AI, and data engineers to translate requirements into integrations and automation across contract, procurement, compute data, and finance platforms, with monitoring and governed change controls.
Align Infrastructure, Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Legal, and Engineering on decisions and dependencies. Manage scope, risks, vendor dependencies, and change requests; escalate with clear options and business impact.
Lead end-to-end testing, UAT, rollout, training, and handoff to operational owners. Define success measures for traceability, data quality, manual effort, exception resolution, close readiness, and adoption.
