Director of Technical Program Management, Physical Deployment

Role description

Role Overview

As Director of Physical Deployment, you will own every cluster from data center early access through to the point where every GPU rack is powered on, cabled and passing hardware acceptance testing. You will turn construction, power, cooling and supply chain realities into schedules the business can commit to, and hold partners to them.

What You Will Do

Own physical delivery, set and defend milestone dates, run daily and weekly site cadences, maintain rack-level tracking, track materials against need dates, work with data center partners on power and cooling readiness, lead recovery plans, and lead people and partners.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will be a leader who owns outcomes rather than one who reports on them. You will be decisive, assertive with partners, accountable, steady under pressure, and credible with executives.

Requirements

• 12+ years in data center, hyperscale infrastructure or large-scale hardware deployment, including 5+ years leading teams.
• Direct experience delivering multi-megawatt GPU or HPC clusters, from data hall readiness through rack energization.
• Working knowledge of data center power, liquid and air cooling, structured cabling and rack integration.
• A track record of managing OEMs, data center operators and construction partners to firm commitments.
• Strength in building integrated schedules and critical paths across many parties, and in recovering them when they slip.
• Clear, concise executive communication, both in writing and in the room, with honest forecasts.
• Ability to travel 90% or more of the time, primarily to data center sites, often at short notice.
