• Coordinate delivery across Engineering, Cloud Platform, Networking, SRE, Data Center Operations, Observability, Finance, Business Operations, hardware partners, and executive leadership.
• Establish and lead program operating mechanisms, including weekly execution reviews, readiness assessments, governance forums, executive business reviews, and cross-functional planning sessions.
• Monitor GPU fleet readiness, deployment progress, operational health, service availability, and reliability across current and next-generation AI platforms.
• Manage deployment governance, operational readiness reviews, stakeholder transitions, and change management processes to ensure successful service delivery.
• Navigate complex dependencies across organizations, resolve execution risks, drive mitigation plans, and ensure accountability through program completion.
• Serve as the primary escalation point between engineering and operations to accelerate issue resolution and remove execution blockers.
• Establish structured incident management processes, including root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive action tracking, and verification of long-term resolutions.
• Develop executive-level reporting and dashboards that communicate program health, operational KPIs, customer impact, dependencies, financial status, risks, mitigation plans, and key decisions.
• Partner with Observability and Telemetry teams to improve visibility into GPU health, network fabric performance, RDMA, RoCE, InfiniBand, and overall service health.
• Collaborate with internal engineering organizations and external hardware partners to improve deployment quality, operational efficiency, and time to resolution.
• Establish scalable program management frameworks, documentation standards, runbooks, playbooks, onboarding materials, and repeatable delivery processes.
• Drive continuous improvement through automation, AI-assisted workflows, data-driven decision making, validation frameworks, version readiness, and operational optimization.
• Build and maintain consistent reporting, scorecards, KPIs, and program metrics to support executive decision-making and portfolio management.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of seven years of program management, product management, technical project management, or related experience leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex technical programs involving infrastructure, cloud services, networking, distributed systems, or enterprise software.
• Proven ability to lead multiple concurrent programs while effectively managing competing priorities, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder expectations.
• Strong experience partnering with cross-functional technical and business organizations to deliver strategic initiatives.
• Experience developing executive dashboards, KPI reporting, scorecards, and data-driven program insights to support operational and business decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to establish scalable governance frameworks, operating cadences, and standardized program management processes.
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and executive presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all organizational levels.
• Proven ability to work effectively in highly ambiguous, fast-paced environments while driving accountability and execution across organizations without direct authority.
• Experience with AI infrastructure, GPU deployments, cloud infrastructure, data center operations, networking, observability, or large-scale distributed systems is strongly preferred.
