Senior Principal Technical Program Manager

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Infrastructure Program Management, Construction Program Management, or similar roles delivering complex cross-functional programs.
• Demonstrated experience running end-to-end execution with strong rigor in schedule, dependencies, risk management, and stakeholder alignment.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership, with crisp written and verbal updates.
• Proven track record operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and driving outcomes across multiple teams.
