About the role
- You'll be the person who turns ambitious infrastructure roadmaps into predictable, on-time, delivery.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery of on-prem infrastructure builds - colocation expansions, power/cooling readiness, rack-and-stack, network fabric bring-up, and hardware acceptance testing - coordinating across colo providers and partners, network engineering, hardware ops, and vendor teams.
- Drive neo cloud delivery programs - manage capacity delivery from GPU cloud and neo cloud partners (e.g., colocation/bare-metal/GPU cloud providers), including contract milestones, capacity ramps, SLAs, and go-live readiness.
- Build and maintain master delivery schedules across concurrent, multi-site, multi-vendor programs, integrating power/shell timelines, hardware lead times, logistics, and software/platform readiness into a single critical path.
- Manage cross-functional stakeholders - engineering, data center operations, procurement, finance, legal, and executive leadership - translating technical dependencies into clear program status, risks, and decisions.
- Own vendor and partner relationships for infrastructure delivery, including neo cloud providers, colocation partners, hardware OEMs, and logistics/installation contractors
- hold partners accountable to contractual delivery commitments.
- Run risk and dependency management - identify critical path risks (power availability, hardware lead times, permitting, supply chain), drive mitigation, and escalate proactively rather than reactively.
- Drive capacity planning alignment - partner with demand/capacity planning teams to ensure delivery timelines match business commitments (customer contracts, internal growth targets).
- Lead post-mortems and continuous improvement - after major builds or delivery milestones, drive retrospectives that improve cost, speed, and predictability of future builds.
