ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Technical Program Manager for GPU and Data Center Deployments, you will own end-to-end program delivery for bringing 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 — driving execution from planning through operational handoff.
This is an ownership role. You will be expected to move programs forward with incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps before they become blockers, and hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries. The best candidates bring deep experience at the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Program Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery of GPU cluster activations and data center infrastructure programs, from initial strategic planning through operational handoff.
• Drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling — owning plans, dependencies, and critical paths.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations, including vendor and contractor partners.
• Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance; identify and resolve blockers before they surface.
• Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the full deployment lifecycle.
• Partner with engineering to improve cluster turn-up reliability, repeatability, and automation — reducing time-to-serve for new capacity.
• Support network operations and end-to-end physical and logical bring-up, including on-site deployment, rack cabling, and coordination with engineering teams.
• Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution.
