Senior Principal Program Manager

Job Description

OCI is scaling rapidly, expanding our global data center footprint and accelerating delivery of GPU capacity.

We are hiring an IC5 Technical Program Manager on a central execution team that owns end-to-end

delivery from construction start through commissioning and GPU/cluster handover to operations.

In this role, you will lead complex, cross-functional infrastructure programs spanning construction,

facilities, network, hardware, power/thermal, security, supply chain, and operations. The TPM will drive

discipline, transparency, and speed through standardized mechanisms (templates, playbooks,

dashboards), single-source-of-truth schedules anchored to Need-By-Dates (NBD), SLA-based execution,

and end-to-end risk visibility across all workstreams and regions. This role partners daily with Construction,

Network Design, Data Hall Design, Procurement/HOM, Fitout, Energization, Ingestion, Validation, and

regional build teams to ensure programs launch with no gaps, risks are surfaced early, blockers are

removed quickly, and leadership has clear visibility into status and decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end delivery for data center build and fit-out programs, from construction execution
  
  
  

through readiness, commissioning, and GPU infrastructure handover.

• Lead cross-functional teams through requirements, integrated schedule, milestone
  
  
  

management, dependency tracking, and change control.

• Drive alignment across Construction, Engineering, Network, Hardware/GPU, Facilities, Security,
  
  
  

Capacity, Supply Chain/Procurement, and Operations.

• Establish and run program mechanisms: weekly execution reviews, risk/issue management,
  
  
  

decision logs, action tracking, launch/readiness gates, and executive reporting.

• Manage critical-path planning and unblock constraints (e.g., long-lead materials, commissioning
  
  
  

readiness, design changes, site constraints, vendor performance).

• Ensure operational readiness for handover: documentation, runbooks, acceptance criteria,
  
  
  

testing/validation, and clear ownership transitions.

• Provide clear, timely communication to senior leadership on status, risks, tradeoffs, and
  
  
  

recommended options—especially when timelines or scope are at risk.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Lead large, ambiguous, global infrastructure programs and break them into durable plans with
  
  
  

measurable milestones and clear owners.

• Build and maintain integrated end-to-end schedules that connect construction progress to
  
  
  

commissioning and GPU/cluster readiness.

• Identify risks early (schedule, capacity, supply chain, vendor, technical readiness) and drive
  
  
  

mitigations to closure.

• Drive cross-team execution across time zones; influence without authority and align teams on
  
  
  

priorities and tradeoffs.

• Implement scalable delivery mechanisms (templates, checklists, gating criteria, dashboards) to
  
  
  

increase execution speed and consistency across regions.

• Coordinate internal and external stakeholders, including vendors and domain experts, to deliver
  
  
  

on commitments.

Minimum Qualifications

• 10 years of experience in Technical Program Management, Infrastructure Program Management,
  
  
  

Construction Program Management, or similar roles delivering complex cross-functional

programs.

• Demonstrated experience running end-to-end execution with strong rigor in schedule,
  
  
  

dependencies, risk management, and stakeholder alignment.

• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior
  
  
  

leadership, with crisp written and verbal updates.

• Proven track record operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and driving outcomes
  
  
  

across multiple teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering data center / hyperscale / mission-critical infrastructure programs
  
  
  

(construction execution through commissioning/handover).

• Familiarity with GPU/compute infrastructure readiness concepts (power/thermal constraints,
  
  
  

rack/row readiness, network bring-up, burn-in/testing, acceptance gates).

• Experience with global programs across multiple regions, vendors, and time zones.
• Strong program controls experience (critical path management, change control, readiness gating,
  
  
  

vendor coordination).

• Exposure to capex governance/budget tracking and procurement processes (PR/PO)
• Advanced degree preferred (Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Finance, or
  
  
  

equivalent experience).
