The Role

Demand for AI infrastructure is growing fast, and capacity is only useful when it is real, power-ready, and delivered on time. We are seeking a Director of Technical Program Management (TPM) to lead global capacity planning and delivery across data center infrastructure, owning the end-to-end lifecycle from demand forecasting through design, construction, deployment, and operational readiness.

You will lead a TPM organization that turns business demand into executable capacity plans and keeps priority programs moving through changing facts, constraints, and trade-offs. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: building the mechanisms, operating cadence, and data-driven systems that make infrastructure delivery predictable at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own the global capacity planning system, aligning demand forecasts with credible supply, build roadmaps, and delivery commitments
• Lead end-to-end delivery of infrastructure capacity across colocation, build-to-suit, retrofit, and owned-build programs
• Turn long-range demand into executable, multi-year programs with clear owners,
  milestones, risks, and decision points
• Build planning, tracking, and governance mechanisms that separate real capacity from
  optimistic assumptions and keep delivery on track
• Establish metrics for capacity health, delivery predictability, schedule confidence, and
  capital efficiency
• Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, real estate, construction, supply chain, networking, and operations
• Use data-driven modeling and scenario analysis to guide investment decisions, expose
  constraints, and inform trade-offs
• Manage risks, constraints, and dependencies across programs and regions, escalating early when power, schedule, supply chain, or execution assumptions change
• Provide clear executive-level reporting on delivery status, capacity outlook, risks, and trade-offs
• Build and lead a high-performing TPM team with clear ownership and accountability

Skills & Qualifications

• 7-10 years in technical program management, infrastructure delivery, or related fields
• 5+ years leading teams and large-scale program portfolios
• Experience delivering large-scale infrastructure or mission-critical programs
• Strong understanding of capacity planning, forecasting, and infrastructure delivery lifecycle
• Experience with capital planning, budgeting, and cost optimization
• Strong analytical and systems thinking skills with a data-driven approach
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and senior leadership
• Excellent communication and executive presentation skills

Impact

You will build the operating system for how the organization plans, validates, and delivers infrastructure capacity at scale. Your work will shape time-to-capacity, capital efficiency, customer readiness, and the company's ability to grow with speed and discipline.
