Senior Principal Technical Program Manager

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.
