Staff TPM - Datacenter Delivery (E2E)

The posting, as Cerebras Systems wrote it

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.

This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.

Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

About The Role

The DC Delivery E2E TPM is the single-threaded owner for delivering data center capacity from forecast → site strategy → design → construction → infrastructure readiness → go-live.

You will operate as the SSOT (Single Source of Truth) for delivery milestones, risks, and capacity outcomes while orchestrating cross-functional execution across internal teams and external partners. This is a frontier-scale role where ambiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and stakes are critical to company growth.

Responsibilities

End-to-End Capacity Delivery

• Own delivery of AI-optimized data center capacity (colo, build-to-suit, retrofits, and owned facilities) from pre-contract planning through operational readiness.
• Deliver MW-scale infrastructure aligned to aggressive GPU/AI system deployment targets.
• Drive clarity from ambiguity—translate high-level demand signals into executable delivery programs.

Program Structuring & Execution

• Decompose complex build programs into workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and deliverables.
• Build integrated plans spanning real estate, power/energy, design, procurement, construction, and deployment.
• Establish critical path visibility and aggressively manage schedule compression.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Orchestrate execution across:
• Real estate & site selection
• Power & energy strategy (utilities, PPAs, interconnects)
• Data center design (MEP, liquid cooling, high-density racks)
• Supply chain & long-lead equipment procurement
• Construction & commissioning
• Infrastructure deployment (rack/cluster install)
• Networking & backbone connectivity
• Security, compliance, and operations readiness
• Act as the primary interface with colocation providers, EPCs, utilities, and key vendors.

Risk, Cost & Governance

• Identify and drive resolution of critical risks, constraints, and blockers across power, equipment, permitting, and supply chain.
• Own and maintain program budgets, CapEx forecasts, and capital allocation narratives.
• Provide structured updates and escalation paths to executive leadership.

Demand & Capacity Planning Integration

• Partner with capacity pl

ve presence and ability to influence without authority.

What sets you apart

• Extreme ownership mindset — you treat capacity delivery as a personal SLA.
• Ability to move fast without breaking systems, balancing urgency with rigor.
• Comfort operating at the intersection of hardware, real estate, and software scaling demands.
• Clear, structured communicator who can turn chaos into executable plans.
• Bias for action with a track record of delivering results under pressure.
