Senior Program Manager, PLM-PDM Systems
About The Position
The Senior Program Manager, Product Lifecycle Management will establish IREN’s global PLM/PDM systems and tools portfolio. Reporting to the Director, Supply Chain Systems and AI Enablement, this individual will program manage the implementation of foundational PLM/PDM definitions, structures, tools, and processes to support a Tier 1 ERP buildout. The role works cross-functionally with Quality Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Technical Sourcing, Supply Chain Procurement, Supply Chain Business Operations, and IT to gather requirements, select and implement tools, address pain points, and document processes that enable the business to scale. IREN is a leading AI Cloud Service Provider delivering large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference. Its vertically integrated platform includes grid-connected land and data centers in renewable-rich regions across the U.S. and Canada. The company builds, owns, and operates data centers using 100% renewable energy and emphasizes responsible, sustainable solutions with a positive impact on the communities where it operates. The role is listed as hybrid in San Francisco, California.

The role requires reliable commuting to the assigned office on scheduled in-office days and willingness to travel domestically and internationally to supplier and vendor sites, data centers, implementation partner locations, and industry events. Pre-employment screening, including a background check and substance testing, may be required under company policies.
