  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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).
