The role serves as the connective PMO leader across these organizations, aligning their plans, operating cadences, and decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and operate a PMO framework for LV delivery programs, including integrated master schedules, milestone governance, RAID management, change control, decision logs, and executive reporting.
• Lead complex technical infrastructure programs spanning multiple campuses, regions, or deployment portfolios; translate capacity, technical, and operational objectives into executable workstreams.
• Develop and maintain integrated program plans for fiber deployment, structured cabling, rack integration, white-space readiness, telecommunications infrastructure delivery, commissioning, operational readiness, and turnover.
• Run a disciplined operating cadence across Data Center Engineering, Construction, Network Engineering, Capacity Planning, Operations, Supply Chain, Commissioning, Security, Finance, and vendor organizations.
• Own program-level performance metrics and dashboards, including critical-path health, schedule and budget performance, forecast accuracy, procurement readiness, quality, risk exposure, and operational readiness.

• Govern scope and change management, evaluating delivery, cost, schedule, and operational impacts before changes are incorporated into the plan.
• Partner with operations and commissioning teams to define readiness criteria, handoff requirements, and lessons-learned mechanisms that improve repeatable execution.
• Provide technical program leadership on structured cabling, fiber infrastructure, ISP/OSP deployment, rack deployment methodologies, and mission-critical sequencing.
• Present program status, decision requests, risks, mitigation plans, and delivery forecasts to senior leadership; lead cross-functional resolution of issues affecting capacity delivery.

Minimum Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in Program Management, PMO or delivery operations, data center infrastructure delivery, telecommunications infrastructure, ICT engineering, mission-critical construction programs, network deployment, or critical infrastructure operations.

• Demonstrated success driving execution and organizational alignment without direct management authority.

Preferred Technical Experience

• Structured cabling systems and fiber optic infrastructure
• ISP/OSP network deployment and telecommunications infrastructure
• Rack integration, white-space fit-out, and deployment workflows
• QA/QC, commissioning, operational readiness, and turnover procedures
