About the role
We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to spearhead the strategy, design vetting, and end-to-end delivery of our next-generation, high-density AI Data Center footprint.
Responsibilities
- Technical Design & Floorplan Vetting: Review, design, and vet floor plans; Create High-Level Designs; Plan power distributions and cooling architectures; Work alongside engineering and vendor partners prior to purchasing or leasing data center space.
- Infrastructure Planning: Conduct technical diligence on data center facilities; Validate that physical infrastructure (power redundancy, floor loading, high-density liquid/air cooling capabilities) aligns with massive AI/GPU compute requirements (multi-MW deployments, liquid-cooled racks at 100kW+, NVIDIA clusters).
- End-to-End Project Ownership: Manage the complete project lifecycle for high-capacity GPU cluster deployments; Drive progress from pre-approval site vetting through infrastructure design, physical implementation, cabling, commissioning, documentation, and final operational handoff.
- Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as the central hub aligning Data Center operators, Network Engineering, Hardware Systems, Facilities, Procurement, and Enterprise IT teams around unified goals and timelines.
- Milestone & Progress Tracking: Establish critical paths, schedule dependencies, and project milestones; Actively monitor progress while holding internal teams and external vendors accountable for updates.
- Risk Management & Quality Control: Proactively identify spatial, power, or logistical constraints early in the planning process; Mitigate post-procurement delays, budget overruns, and technical bottlenecks.
- Reporting & Governance: Maintain accurate project documentation, inventory tracking, and transparent status reporting for executive leadership and stakeholders.
Requirements
- Technical knowledge and a proven track record delivering complex hardware infrastructure or data center engineering projects.
- 5+ years of technical project management experience in high-density or infrastructure environments.
- Strong familiarity with DC facility design, power delivery systems, thermal management, and spatial planning for high-density environments.
- Direct experience or strong foundational understanding of high-density AI cluster architectures.
- Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and refine CAD drawings, as well as create rack elevations, single-line diagrams, and floor plans.
- Ability to drive accountability across technical, engineering, and third-party vendor teams.
- Strong hands-on proficiency with modern project management software (Jira, Confluence).
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of distilling technical complexities into concise updates for leadership.
