Technical Program Manager - Hyperscale Infrastructure Delivery Acceleration, GPU Capacity Expansion

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive GPU infrastructure delivery and acceleration programs across data centers in JAPAC and other regions as needed.

In this role, you will own and drive strategic GPU capacity expansion programs from planning through construction readiness, tenant fit-out, power and cooling enablement, network readiness, rack deployment, commissioning, validation, operational handover, and customer readiness.

You will be responsible for quickly assessing project health, identifying technical blockers, challenging schedule assumptions, driving recovery or acceleration plans, and coordinating execution across multiple internal and external organizations. Success requires the ability to understand the full end-to-end infrastructure build sequence, identify critical path risks, and align cross-functional teams around clear owners, dates, decisions, and escalation paths.

This is not a routine program tracking role. The ideal candidate is a highly technical, execution-focused TPM who can enter a complex infrastructure program, rapidly determine what is blocking progress, drive resolution across organizational boundaries, and provide clear executive-level visibility into risks, decisions, and delivery timelines.

This role requires strong ownership, sound judgment, global mobility, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, high-pressure environments with significant autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure Program Delivery and Acceleration

• Use technical judgment to identify hidden dependencies, challenge incomplete plans, and ensure delivery schedules reflect real-world execution requirements.

Cross-Functional Execution and Stakeholder Management

• Drive coordination across Data Center Design, Construction, Engineering, Network Delivery, Capacity Planning, Supply Chain, Logistics, Software Engineering, Data Center Operations, vendors, contractors, field teams, and executive stakeholders.
• Operate effectively across multiple organizations with competing priorities, unclear ownership, regional complexity, and aggressive delivery expectations.
• Lead issue resolution across organizational boundaries and escalate appropriately when executive decisions, trade-offs, or priority calls are required.
• Ensure all stakeholders have clear visibility into program priorities, milestones, blockers, owners, actions, risks, and expected recovery timelines.
• Manage external vendors, contractors, colocation providers, logistics partners, and strategic infrastructure partners to ensure execution quality and schedule alignment.

Schedule, Risk, and Recovery Management

• Own detailed program schedules, milestone tracking, dependency management, issue resolution, and delivery risk mitigation.
• Identify critical path risks early and drive mitigation before they impact committed timelines.
• Track project health, delivery milestones, budgets, dependencies, readiness criteria, and operational handover status.
• Drive regular program reviews, recovery checkpoints, escalation forums, and cross-functional execution meetings.
• Ensure delivery commitments are backed by credible execution plans, clear ownership, realistic assumptions, and active risk management.

Executive Communication and Reporting

• Prepare high-quality executive reports, escalation summaries, decision briefs, recovery plans, project health updates, and operational readiness reports.
• Communicate complex technical and schedule challenges clearly, concisely, and in a way that enables leadership action.
• Provide accurate visibility into program status, risks, mitigation plans, decision points, ownership, and expected recovery timelines.
• Maintain strong written and verbal communication with senior leadership, technical teams, vendors, construction partners, and field execution teams.
• Ensure all reporting is fact-based, structured, action-oriented, and appropriate for executive consumption.

Site Engagement and Global Deployment

• Conduct regular site visits to monitor construction progress, installation quality, commissioning activities, infrastructure readiness, and execution blockers.
• Be prepared for frequent travel across JAPAC and other global regions, including short-notice travel to support critical infrastructure programs.
• Represent the organization at project sites, data centers, colocation facilities, vendor locations, construction sites, and regional execution hubs.
• Work directly with local teams to validate execution status, assess blockers, coordinate recovery actions, and drive programs back on track.
• Operate comfortably across time zones, cultures, regions, and globally distributed stakeholder groups.
