About the role
The Lead Principal Program Manager will lead critical capacity and demand planning programs supporting OCI’s AI/ML and cloud infrastructure priorities. This role will translate business strategy, customer demand, product roadmaps, and deployment readiness into integrated near-term and long-range capacity plans across GPU, compute, storage, and network infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategy, planning, and execution of major OCI capacity and demand planning programs affecting core infrastructure products and global deployment operations.
- Develop and govern integrated consensus demand plans across customers, initiatives, regions, sites, products, SKUs, and planning horizons, including baseline, upside, and risk-adjusted scenarios.
- Translate demand forecasts into executable supply, manufacturing, allocation, and deployment plans by identifying constraints, dependencies, decision points, and required resource commitments.
- Integrate New Product Introduction (NPI) roadmaps and product lifecycle transitions with demand, qualification, supply, manufacturing, and deployment plans to enable scalable platform ramps while minimizing capacity gaps and stranded inventory.
- Establish and scale cross-functional operating cadences, governance models, KPI frameworks, and executive review mechanisms that improve visibility, accountability, alignment, and decision-making.
- Lead high-value capacity and capital decisions involving long-lead components, supplier commitment windows, site readiness, allocation alternatives, cost of capital, inventory exposure, customer delivery, and revenue timing.
- Evaluate end-to-end supply chain and deployment constraints across CPU, GPU, networking, storage, racks, power, space, and data center dependencies; drive mitigation, reallocation, prioritization, or re-baselining before critical deadlines.
- Define performance measures for forecast accuracy, plan attainment, supply coverage, inventory exposure, decision quality, capital efficiency, and revenue alignment. Lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement across planning processes, data, and systems.
- Convert large, incomplete, and sometimes conflicting data sets into concise executive narratives, business reviews, decision memos, dashboards, and presentations that clearly communicate assumptions, trade-offs, risks, and required decisions.
- Anticipate organization-wide risks and execution bottlenecks, mobilize the appropriate subject-matter experts, and drive resolution across organizational boundaries.
- Act as a force multiplier by developing repeatable planning standards, mentoring partner teams, raising the operating standard, and influencing outcomes without relying on direct authority.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, computer science, supply chain, operations, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of relevant experience in technical program management, capacity or demand planning, supply chain operations, cloud infrastructure, or related disciplines.
- Proven experience leading large-scale, cross-functional programs and delivering measurable business impact in complex, matrixed organizations.
- Strong business acumen and demonstrated expertise in forecasting, scenario modeling, product lifecycle planning, supply-demand balancing, operational planning, and risk management.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and translate strategic demand into executable, supply- and site-constrained plans.
- Exceptional written, verbal, and executive presentation skills, with the ability to influence technical and business leaders at all levels.
- Advanced analytical capabilities and experience converting technical, operational, financial, and customer inputs into actionable recommendations.
