Technical Program Manager

Join a team that clears the path for you to thrive. As theTechnical Program Manager, Datacenter Portfolio and Strategy Managementfor the AMERS region, you sit at the portfolio layer rather than owning a single project or function. You see every datacenter program from the earliest signal through construction readiness, go live, and turnover to operations, across disciplines such as design engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, networking, capacity, and operations. You build and maintain the single, trusted view of the regional portfolio that project teams, functional partners, and leaders use to plan and act with confidence.

In this role, you turn a constantly changing stream of milestones, risks, and dependencies into clear, decision-ready views on a fixed rhythm that does not move. You protect critical dates that translate directly into cloud and artificial intelligence capacity customers are already planning against, surfacing schedule risk early enough for partners to respond rather than absorb impact later. You design and improve the templates, standards, and reporting mechanisms the regional team runs on, finding manual effort worth automating and patterns worth codifying. You operate through influence and credibility, earning the trust required for partner teams to act when you call out risk, and you gain early executive exposure while deepening your understanding of mechanical, electrical, structural, networking, and commissioning systems at hyperscale.
