About the role

Technical Program Manager responsible for owning the network activation lifecycle across Fluidstack data centers, coordinating cross-functional teams, vendors, and partners to ensure on-schedule site go-lives and robust network readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Own the network critical path for every site activation, from structured cabling and optics through switch and router delivery, circuit turn-up, and vendor integration, so network is never the reason a site goes live late.
  • Define the network readiness gates, acceptance criteria, and sign-offs that move a site from construction into production, and hold each one across the fleet rather than renegotiating them site by site.
  • Run the operating rhythm across network engineering, network operations, deployment, supply chain, and the colocation or construction partner, surfacing schedule risk weeks before it reaches the go-live date.
  • Drive network change and incident programs to closure, tracking corrective actions, recurrence patterns, and fleet-wide trends into the weekly and monthly reviews that decide what the org does next.
  • Hold OEMs, ODMs, and deployment partners to delivery commitments with measured performance data, including RMA and integration turnaround, so vendor problems surface as evidence rather than escalation.
  • Partner with the Principal Operations Engineer, Network, who sets the technical standard, and own whether that standard actually lands on schedule at every site. Travel 50%.

Qualifications

  • You've run network deployment or infrastructure delivery programs at scale, where a missed turn-up date cost capacity rather than a slipped status report.
  • You know networks well enough to hold engineers and vendors to a schedule credibly: structured cabling and optics, carrier circuit timelines, switch and router deployment, and what actually drives integration slip.
  • You've built activation or readiness frameworks from nothing, defining the gates and acceptance criteria yourself rather than running a process someone else designed.
  • You quarterback across engineering, deployment, supply chain, and external partners without owning any of them, and you're the person other teams call when a workstream is stuck.
  • You track corrective actions and vendor performance to closure in live reporting, not to initial assignment.
  • You write clearly enough to turn a tangled delivery problem into a decision and a next action for a site lead, an executive, or a counterparty who was not in the room.
