About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to spearhead the strategy, design vetting, and end-to-end delivery of our next-generation, high-density AI Data Center footprint. In this role, you will bridge the gap between abstract capacity needs and physical execution, serving as the primary orchestrator for complex, high-capacity GPU cluster deployments. You will lead pre-approval technical vetting (evaluating space, power, cooling, and network floor plans before site acquisition) and take ownership of the full deployment lifecycle through to operational handoff. Proactive and a self-starter, you must be highly organized with the ability to manage competing priorities. Driven and motivated, you can operate both autonomously and in a collaborative team environment, coordinating across multiple internal groups and external vendors to deliver comprehensive high-capacity GPU cluster deployments.

Requirements

• Technical knowledge and a proven track record delivering complex hardware infrastructure or data center engineering projects.
• 5+ years of technical project management experience in high-density or infrastructure environments.
• Strong familiarity with DC facility design, power delivery systems, thermal management, and spatial planning for high-density environments.
• Direct experience or strong foundational understanding of high-density AI cluster architectures.
• Ability to read, interpret, and refine CAD drawings, as well as create rack elevations, single-line diagrams, and floor plans.
• Demonstrated ability to drive accountability across technical, engineering, and third-party vendor teams.
• Strong hands-on proficiency with modern project management software (Jira, Confluence).
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of distilling technical complexities into concise updates for leadership.

Responsibilities

• Review, design, and vet floor plans
• Create High-Level Designs
• Plan power distributions and cooling architectures.
• Work alongside engineering and vendor partners prior to purchasing or leasing data center space.
• Conduct technical diligence on data center facilities.
• Validate that physical infrastructure (power redundancy, floor loading, high-density liquid/air cooling capabilities) aligns with massive AI/GPU compute requirements (multi-MW deployments, liquid-cooled racks at 100kW+, NVIDIA clusters).
• Manage the complete project lifecycle for high-capacity GPU cluster deployments.
• Drive progress from pre-approval site vetting through infrastructure design, physical implementation, cabling, commissioning, documentation, and final operational handoff.
• Serve as the central hub aligning Data Center operators, Network Engineering, Hardware Systems, Facilities, Procurement, and Enterprise IT teams around unified goals and timelines.
• Establish critical paths, schedule dependencies, and project milestones.
• Actively monitor progress while holding internal teams and external vendors accountable for updates.
• Proactively identify spatial, power, or logistical constraints early in the planning process.
• Mitigate post-procurement delays, budget overruns, and technical bottlenecks.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, inventory tracking, and transparent status reporting for executive leadership and stakeholders.

Benefits

• Flexible working environment – a remote-first culture with coworking options available
• Generous leave plans – including, parental leave, birthday leave, and a purchased annual leave program
• Health and wellness support – through a wellness allowance and employee wellbeing initiatives
• Comprehensive learning support – generous study and training allowance plus paid study leave
• Creative, modern workspaces – designed to inspire when you're not working remotely, plus access to coworking spaces via our global WeWork membership if you work remotely, but like to get out of the house sometimes
• Motivated, inclusive team – work alongside industry experts and fresh talent
• Recognition programs – celebrate achievements with our Legend and Kudos award
