About The Position

As Principal Program Manager, Network Infrastructure Deployment & Delivery, you will own the end-to-end execution of OCI’s data center network deployment programs, translating capacity demand and engineering designs into delivered, tested, production-ready network infrastructure. You will lead delivery across multiple sites and workstreams, coordinating the full lifecycle from design readiness and bill-of-materials alignment through staging, install, configuration, turn-up, validation, and operational handoff. This role is accountable for the successful deployment and integration of OCI network domains including data center core, spine/leaf fabric, WAN/edge connectivity, and corporate network services within data center environments. You will establish clear milestones, readiness gates, and acceptance criteria, manage cross-functional dependencies (Engineering, Capacity Planning, Construction, Supply Chain, Security, NOC/Operations, and vendors/carriers), and drive rapid risk mitigation and issue resolution to keep builds on schedule. Success requires strong program governance and execution discipline, ensuring deployments meet OCI requirements for availability, scalability, performance, security, and operational supportability—while protecting schedule, cost, quality, and customer delivery commitments as the portfolio scales.
