About the role

  • Technical Program Manager overseeing AI cluster activations at Fluidstack, requiring expertise in data center infrastructure and AI/GPU hardware deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Own program delivery for data hall and AI cluster activation, from planning through operational handoff
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations execution
  • Translate hyperscale AI/GPU and DLC infrastructure requirements into actionable deployment plans
  • Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance
  • Drive alignment across teams operating at different speeds, scopes, and time zones – including vendor and contractor partners
  • Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the deployment lifecycle
  • Operate effectively in ambiguity, making progress with incomplete information and evolving requirements
  • Develop and drive executive-level program status briefings that clearly communicate schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalations paths
  • Maintain clear, current program artifacts: schedules, RACI matrices, risk registers, decision logs, and deployment runbooks
  • Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution
  • Collaborate closely with SMEs in networking, ICT, commissioning, systems engineerings, product, procurement, operations, and more before execution – not in isolation
  • Identify and drive process improvements that scale across concurrent builds and future deployments

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience in delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs in fast-moving environments
  • Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure, including power density, cooling, networking, and deployment sequencing
  • Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment: candidates who are network only or construction only will not be a fit
  • Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities impact deployment readiness and sequencing
  • Proven ability to lead through influence rather than direct ownership of execution teams
  • Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, understanding schedule and reputational risks
  • Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including planning for staggered milestones
  • Able to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Experience with long-lead procurement processes, and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines
  • Actively collaborate with SMEs across multiple domains to validate plans and resolve gaps
  • Comfortable operating with limited process and evolving inputs in a high-growth, intense environment
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative, fill gaps, and drive execution beyond defined scope, without being directed to do so
  • Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on program management
  • Comfortable operating outside standard business to meet deployment timelines
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills – able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies
  • Strong execution mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision making
  • Automation-first mindset with commitment to identifying and implementing process improvements
  • You are willing and able to travel to data center locations, sometimes on short notice; expect to spend up to 60% of your time traveling

Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms
