Senior Principal Program Manager, Data Center Infrastructure | Cross‑Org PMO

Oracle
Santa Clara, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
Job Description

You will operate to drive clarity, decision velocity, and predictable delivery across multiple orgs, geographies, and vendors. Success requires deep data center/infrastructure program leadership, disciplined operating mechanisms, and the ability to resolve ambiguity(many a time) and cross-team constraints that directly impact OCI capacity growth and service readiness.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Data Center Programs & Critical Path Management
  • Build and maintain integrated plans that connect design artifacts (layouts/BOMs/patch matrices), material readiness, build execution, commissioning, software/platform enablement, and production handoff.
  • Coordinate across supply chain and deployment stakeholders on long-lead constraints and mitigation strategies to protect committed delivery dates in partnership with material forecast/planning, ordering, supply chain.
  • Identify dependencies, critical path, and constraints; drive tradeoffs, sequencing decisions, and escalation paths to protect schedule and readiness. Solve for it tactically, yet build a plan, collaborate to resolve systemically to scale.
  • Align internal teams and external partners on readiness gates, delivery milestones, quality expectations, and escalation paths. Ensure schedule and cost visibility, change impact clarity, and early warning signal instrumentation.
  • Executive Cadence, Decision Framing, and Visibility
  • Establish operating cadence, executive readouts, and decision logs to increase decision velocity and accountability.
  • Provide crisp, decision-ready communication: options, recommendations, risks, mitigations, and asks.
  • Drive portfolio KPI definitions, reporting, and continuous improvement in forecasting accuracy and delivery predictability.
  • Technical Program Leadership
  • Experience scaling AI/GPU infrastructure and/or rapid capacity expansion programs to serve as a technical integrator across infrastructure domains—data hall design, deployment systems/ automation , network/compute/power/telemetry, and operational readiness.
  • Lead adoption of repeatable mechanisms, standards, and automation to reduce rework, shorten cycle time, and improve first-pass quality.


Qualifications

  • 10 years of experience leading complex technical programs (or equivalent), ideally across cloud infrastructure, software automations, hyperscale data centers, or large-scale distributed systems.
  • Demonstrated success leading multi-org programs with executive stakeholders; strong ability to influence without direct authority.
  • Strong technical fluency across the data center delivery lifecycle (plan/design/build/commission/operate) and cloud infrastructure requirements.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level narratives and decision framing.
  • Strong operational discipline: building mechanisms, dashboards, KPI instrumentation, and escalation paths.
  • Experience with program management methodologies and tools (e.g., Jira/Confluence, MS Project/Smartsheet; Agile/hybrid delivery).


Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with schedule/cost/change governance systems and practices (e.g., Primavera/OPC, Unifier or equivalents).
  • Experience coordinating with Low-Voltage vendors, deployment teams, and global supplier ecosystems.
