We are seeking an experienced Principal Program Manager (IC4) to lead complex infrastructure delivery programs supporting OCI’s global cloud expansion and rapidly growing AI infrastructure footprint.
This role will drive end-to-end execution across commercial cloud region builds, AI infrastructure deployments, high-density compute environments, and next-generation network infrastructure.
You will partner with Network Engineering, AI Infrastructure, Datacenter Engineering, Optical Transport, Automation, Supply Chain, and Operations teams to coordinate complex technical dependencies, manage critical delivery milestones, and accelerate infrastructure readiness.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth, exceptional program execution, and the ability to influence across engineering and executive leadership.
You will be responsible for translating infrastructure strategies into executable delivery plans, anticipating risks, resolving cross-functional blockers, and ensuring infrastructure programs meet OCI’s performance, reliability, scalability, and operational excellence standards.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to the infrastru
Internal Responsibilities
Strategic Infrastructure Program Leadership
- Lead complex, cross-functional infrastructure programs spanning AI deployments, commercial cloud regions, and large-scale network expansion.
- Own program execution from initial planning through deployment, validation, and operational readiness.
- Establish integrated roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, and delivery governance.
- Drive critical-path execution across engineering, datacenter infrastructure, supply chain, and operations.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks affecting infrastructure availability and delivery commitments.
AI Infrastructure and Network Delivery
- Coordinate infrastructure delivery supporting GPU clusters, AI workloads, high-performance computing, and hyperscale cloud environments.
- Partner with engineering teams to align network deployment with compute infrastructure and datacenter readiness.
- Drive execution across high-performance network fabrics, optical transport, backbone connectivity, and datacenter interconnects.
- Identify and resolve technical dependencies impacting infrastructure activation and production readiness.
- Support scalable, repeatable deployment practices that accelerate infrastructure availability.
Technical Program Execution
- Translate complex architectural designs and technical requirements into actionable execution plans.
- Coordinate engineering decisions, technical dependencies, infrastructure validation, and deployment readiness.
- Develop integrated schedules spanning network engineering, datacenter construction, hardware deployment, cabling, automation, and operational readiness.
- Lead cross-functional issue resolution and critical escalations during high-intensity deployment phases.
- Establish measurable delivery metrics and continuously improve execution predictability.
Cross-Functional and Executive Leadership
- Influence priorities, resources, and technical decisions across multiple engineering and infrastructure organizations.
- Provide clear, data-driven program updates to senior leadership, including milestones, risks, dependencies, and required decisions.
- Translate technical challenges into business impacts related to infrastructure capacity, customer commitments, and delivery timelines.
- Build strong partnerships across engineering, operations, infrastructure, and business teams.
- Mentor TPMs and contribute to organizational program management best practices.
Operational Readiness and Infrastructure Activation
- Ensure infrastructure deployments meet established technical, operational, and production-readiness requirements.
- Coordinate monitoring, automation, telemetry, runbooks, and operational handoff processes.
- Partner with engineering and operations teams to validate infrastructure readiness before production activation.
- Drive continuous improvement in deployment quality, operational efficiency, and infrastructure delivery.
