About The Position

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is building the next generation of cloud and AI infrastructure at global scale. As demand for GPU capacity, cloud regions, and strategic infrastructure delivery continues to grow, OCI needs senior individual contributors who can turn complex, cross-functional change initiatives into executable delivery systems. This role is focused on operationalizing strategic infrastructure programs across engineering, supply chain, data center operations, capacity planning, finance, and executive stakeholders. The ideal candidate brings the execution mindset of an installation engineer, the systems thinking of an infrastructure architect, and the operational discipline of a senior program leader. You will help OCI move faster, reduce delivery friction, improve readiness, and ensure critical GPU and cloud infrastructure initiatives are delivered with clarity, accountability, and measurable impact.

Requirements

Execution mindset of an installation engineer
Systems thinking of an infrastructure architect
Operational discipline of a senior program leader

Responsibilities

Drive strategic GPU and cloud infrastructure delivery initiatives from planning through operational handoff, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, risks, dependencies, and decision points.
Translate ambiguous infrastructure priorities into practical execution plans, governance mechanisms, readiness criteria, and operating rhythms.
Partner across engineering, supply chain, data center operations, capacity planning, finance, and tooling teams to identify blockers and drive resolution.
Build scalable processes that improve how OCI plans, tracks, escalates, and delivers critical infrastructure programs.
Establish operational readiness frameworks for high-density GPU and cloud infrastructure deployments, including site readiness, hardware availability, network readiness, validation, and handoff.
Identify bottlenecks across people, process, systems, and data; create mechanisms that improve cycle time, accountability, and delivery predictability.
Develop executive-level reporting, dashboards, and operational telemetry that clearly show progress, risks, blocked capacity, and decisions needed.
Drive cross-functional issue resolution in high-pressure delivery environments where ownership, root cause, or path forward may be unclear.
Connect long-range infrastructure plans with operational execution requirements, including headcount, tooling, process maturity, and regional delivery capacity.
Create durable operating mechanisms that continue to work after the immediate escalation or program milestone is complete.
