About The Position

Cerebras Systems is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead the data and tooling programs that support data center planning, delivery, and operational handoff. The role turns fragmented project information into trusted data, useful workflows, and timely decisions. Working with infrastructure leaders, program managers, engineering, and business systems teams, the position defines the roadmap, drives implementation, and establishes adoption across the organization.

This role combines technical program leadership with hands-on data fluency. It connects information across sites and functions so teams can understand dependencies, identify delivery risks, and act before milestones slip. The Data Center team works across facility design, power and cooling, hardware, networking, supply chain, deployment, and operations to deliver reliable capacity and repeatable processes across multiple sites.

Requirements

• Experience leading complex technical programs across infrastructure, enterprise systems, data platforms, or large-scale operations, with ownership spanning requirements through sustained adoption.
• Demonstrated ability to set direction across multiple teams, resolve competing priorities, and deliver organization-wide improvements without direct authority.
• Strong SQL skills and experience validating datasets, defining metrics, and developing operational dashboards.
• Working knowledge of Python or comparable scripting for analysis and automation.
• Ability to discuss APIs, data models, integrations, workflow design, and data quality requirements with engineers, and translate technical tradeoffs into program decisions.
• Experience connecting operational data to delivery schedules, capacity, cost, or equipment readiness, including identifying the limits of incomplete or inconsistent data.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including concise executive updates, actionable requirements, and escalation of risks with recommended decisions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with data center, cloud infrastructure, hardware deployment, or other programs involving physical infrastructure and multiple sites.
• Familiarity with business intelligence, project management, enterprise resource planning, inventory, or data center infrastructure management systems.
• Experience replacing spreadsheet-heavy workflows with maintainable integrations and tools, including defining ownership and support after rollout.

Responsibilities

• Own the Data Center organization’s data and tooling roadmap, translating stakeholder needs into prioritized requirements, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Define shared data models and metric definitions for sites, capacity, delivery milestones, equipment readiness, costs, risks, and dependencies; establish data owners and update expectations.
• Partner with engineering and business systems teams to integrate project, procurement, inventory, financial, and deployment information through reliable interfaces and workflows.
• Build and validate analyses using SQL and lightweight automation; drive dashboards that show planned versus actual progress, forecast changes, and constraints requiring action.
• Lead tool evaluation and implementation, including build-versus-buy recommendations, pilot programs, user acceptance testing, rollout, documentation, and training.
• Establish data quality checks, reconciliation processes, change history, and access requirements so teams can trust information used in operating reviews.
• Drive adoption across distributed teams, remove redundant reporting, and measure improvements in data freshness, reporting effort, and decision turnaround.
• Present program status and tradeoffs to leadership, escalate unresolved dependencies, and improve the tooling roadmap based on user feedback and delivery outcomes.
