Program Manager, Data Center Architecture to run the operational backbone of the architecture team. The program manager will manage intake of design requirements, team bandwidth, and scheduling across every active build, and serve as the primary point of contact for cross-functional partners and the team's documentation. This role sits alongside the Director, Data Center Architecture, translating the team's technical work into a well-run, predictable, and repeatable operation.
The ideal candidate combines real fluency in data center architecture with program management skill and understands what the architects are designing well enough to schedule and prioritize.
Key Responsibilities- Own intake of design requirements into the architecture team, documenting specifications from customer contracts and other upstream sources, and translating them into a clear, prioritized design queue.
- Work with the Director to allocate architects across active designs based on capacity and specialization, keeping the pooled-team model running smoothly.
- Schedule and track design tasks across every active build: maintaining a single, accurate view of what's in progress, what's blocked, and what's coming next.
- Communicate status to cross-functional partners: keeping Data Center Construction, Infrastructure & Operations, Procurement, TPM, and Leaders informed on design progress and timelines.
- Own documentation and tracking systems; maintain the team's design records, status trackers, and process documentation.
- Support the Director on organizational planning, contributing to hiring plans, process definition, and team structure decisions as the architecture function scales.
Ideal Candidate- Background in data center architecture and program management
- Experience managing intake and prioritization for a technical team with a shared, bandwidth-constrained resource pool.
- Experience with resource and capacity planning across concurrent projects.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills, with experience keeping multiple stakeholder groups aligned on status and timelines.
- Comfortable operating as the connective layer between a technical team and the rest of the organization.
Preferred Experience- Direct experience in a hybrid architecture-plus-program-management role.
- Familiarity with data center design processes, hardware BOMs, or physical infrastructure deployment.
- Experience supporting org planning and scaling decisions for a growing technical function.
