Senior Technical Program Manager - New Data Center Launches

The role 

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own the end-to-end  delivery of GPU clusters and other critical IT infrastructure components that  power next-generation AI workloads. In this high-impact role, you’ll  coordinate engineering, networking, construction, and operations teams to  deliver GPU clusters and critical IT infrastructure at hyperscale. You’ll  work closely with infrastructure leadership to define strategy, manage risk,  and ensure on-time, high-quality launches. You’ll play a key role in scaling  our global infrastructure footprint across the United States market.

Travel: This position may require on-site presence at data centers during key deployment phases.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead  end-to-end delivery of new data center programs, from design through  handover to operations.
• Define  and manage scope, schedule, and risks, maintaining focus on critical  paths and proactive issue resolution.
• Translate  business and technical requirements into actionable project plans and  measurable deliverables.
• Oversee  vendor and contractor execution, ensuring quality, budget, and schedule.
• Provide  structured program reporting, including dashboards, documentation, and  executive updates.

Technical Scope & Expectations

This role requires hands-on experience with physical infrastructure  delivery, not only software or coordination-based program management.
You should be comfortable working across multiple layers of  infrastructure, including:

• Data center environments: understanding of IT infrastructure readiness (power, cooling, space,  and networking dependencies before hardware installation);
• Compute infrastructure: experience with large-scale server deployments (GPU-based systems are  a strong plus);
• Networking: familiarity with high-bandwidth fabrics (e.g., InfiniBand or  equivalent), cabling, and integration dependencies;
• Commissioning &  bring-up: exposure to system validation, burn-in testing,  and readiness criteria before handover to operations.

You are not expected to be an engineer, but you should be able to:

• Engage in technical  discussions confidently.
• Identify risks related to  infrastructure readiness and sequencing.
• Challenge assumptions and  drive resolution across engineering teams.

We expect you to have: 

• 7+ years of experience in technical program or project management, with direct involvement in large-scale IT infrastructure deployments.
• Solid technical background in relevant domains, with the ability to engage deeply in technical discussions and challenge solutions where needed.
• Proven ability to stay focused on critical paths and drive results in fast-paced, changing environments.
• Communication and stakeholder management skills; able to translate complex topics clearly.
• Leadership by influence and example in cross-functional or matrixed teams.
• Proficient with modern project management tools and methodologies (e.g., Jira, Asana, hybrid Agile/Waterfall).

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

• Understanding of construction projects structure and key risk factors in facility build-outs.
• Knowledge of HPC
• Experience in business processes design or automation tools development.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or similar industry certifications.
