Technical Program Manager, AI Physical Deployment

Role overview This individual contributor role drives execution across a global physical deployment portfolio, with personal ownership of high-complexity programs across rack integration and data centre delivery. The position is a strategic bridge between internal teams, aligning priorities, dependencies, and risk across the full physical deployment lifecycle. It suits someone with deep, hands-on experience leading infrastructure programs in data centre, high-density compute, or mission-critical environments who wants to stay technical rather than move into people management.

Responsibilities - Serve as the primary liaison and alignment point for internal and external teams involved in data centre infrastructure delivery. - Transform high-level strategies into structured programs that deliver measurable financial, timeline, and risk-mitigation value. - Establish communication frameworks, governance structures, escalation paths, and operational rhythms to ensure end-to-end delivery performance. - Drive cross-functional consensus on milestones, ownership, critical-path dependencies, risk mitigation, and executive decisions. - Identify operational bottlenecks, ambiguous scopes, or competing priorities and facilitate rapid conflict resolution. - Synthesise complex technical, commercial, and financial data into clear executive briefings and actionable proposals.

Requirements - 3+ years of technical program management experience leading complex, large-scale infrastructure or physical deployment programs. - Strong core understanding of data centre physical infrastructure, networking, hardware architecture, and distributed systems. - Proven mastery of program management methodologies such as PMP, Agile, or Scrum, with strong written and verbal communication. - Demonstrated ability to drive clarity and progress in fast-paced, high-growth environments while managing dynamic priorities. - Direct experience with data centre infrastructure deployment, rack integration, and hardware commissioning. - Background in hyperscale or public cloud environments supporting 24/7 mission-critical operations, with willingness to travel periodically to project sites.

Nice to have - Experience with AI-focused infrastructure, high-density compute, GPU clusters, or cloud region deployments. - Familiarity with full-lifecycle data centre deployment, including site development, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operational handoff. - Understanding of power infrastructure, utility interconnections, substations, cooling systems, switchgear, and MEP dependencies. - Proficiency with program tooling such as Smartsheet, Jira, Asana, MS Project, Primavera P6, or Power BI. - PMP, PgMP, Agile, Lean Six Sigma, or similar certification.

Benefits and work setup - Base salary range of $190,000-$236,000 USD, with potential eligibility for bonus, equity, or commission programs. - Benefits package may include medical, dental, vision, flexible paid time off, parental leave, and retirement plan participation. - Remote-first workplace culture emphasising trust, autonomy, and work-life harmony, plus tailored professional development.
