The Principal Technical Program Manager leads complex Data Hall Design programs, driving planning and execution for infrastructure projects. This role involves managing roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, and risk registers while translating capacity priorities into execution plans across design, construction, networking, and supply chain workstreams. The individual will build and maintain program mechanisms like KPI dashboards, escalation paths, and standardized design processes to improve schedule predictability and handoff quality. Key responsibilities include resolving blockers for structured cabling, fiber infrastructure, and low-voltage systems while ensuring operational readiness. Required skills include technical program management, infrastructure delivery lifecycle knowledge, and data analysis. The role solves technical problems related to hyperscale datacenter design, physical networking dependencies, and colocation readiness within a cloud infrastructure environment.
