What You Will Do
- Own end-to-end delivery of AI infrastructure deployments - from customer acceptance criteria definition through site commissioning and operational handover
- Govern third-party vendors - holding them accountable to schedule, quality, and scope through structured weekly governance, data-led escalation, and formal review cadences
- Own Nscale's 30% delivery scope on every site - WAN availability, FE network availability, network device configuration, and customer acceptance validation
- Build and maintain the integrated 100% delivery picture across vendor scope and Nscale scope - and communicate it clearly to leadership weekly
- Manage customer relationships through the full deployment lifecycle - extracting acceptance criteria, setting expectations, and representing Nscale confidently at the executive level
- Transition into direct management of in-house trades and field teams as Nscale insources execution - building daily coordination cadences, trade accountability, and site governance from the ground up
- Identify risks and dependencies across cross-functional teams including Supply Chain, GPU PM, Networking PM, and Deployment Engineering - and drive resolution before they hit the schedule
- Contribute to the development of repeatable deployment playbooks, governance frameworks, and site acceptance standards
Minimum Qualifications- MBA, ideally with coursework or prior experience touching operations, infrastructure, or program management
- 3-5 years of total professional experience (pre- and/or post-MBA) spanning some combination of technical program or project management with full deployment lifecycle ownership
- Demonstrated interest in developing both vendor governance and hands-on field/operations skills
- Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-changing environment, as you'll be asked to contribute in a boardroom one week and on a site floor the next
- Strong analytical and executive communication skills, with the ability to translate operational detail into a clear leadership narrative
- Network and infrastructure literacy - comfortable owning WAN availability, FE network, and network device configuration without needing a translator
- Willingness to travel and spend meaningful time on active deployment sites as part of your development
- A track record (academic, internship, or early career) of building trust quickly with people outside your immediate team
Preferred Qualifications - Professional experience managing a vendor-to-insource transition - you have been on both sides of a delivery model change
