Overview
Join a team that clears the path for you to thrive. As the Technical Program Manager, Datacenter Portfolio and Strategy Management for the AMERS region, you sit at the portfolio layer rather than owning a single project or function. You see every datacenter program from the earliest signal through construction readiness, go live, and turnover to operations, across disciplines such as design engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, networking, capacity, and operations. You build and maintain the single, trusted view of the regional portfolio that project teams, functional partners, and leaders use to plan and act with confidence.
In this role, you turn a constantly changing stream of milestones, risks, and dependencies into clear, decision-ready views on a fixed rhythm that does not move. You protect critical dates that translate directly into cloud and artificial intelligence capacity customers are already planning against, surfacing schedule risk early enough for partners to respond rather than absorb impact later. You design and improve the templates, standards, and reporting mechanisms the regional team runs on, finding manual effort worth automating and patterns worth codifying. You operate through influence and credibility, earning the trust required for partner teams to act when you call out risk, and you gain early executive exposure while deepening your understanding of mechanical, electrical, structural, networking, and commissioning systems at hyperscale.

Responsibilities
- Identify opportunities and gaps across multiple features, services, or infrastructure areas in the datacenter portfolio, using data and tools such as automation and artificial intelligence to analyze usage, telemetry, and service data and generate hypotheses for improvements.
- Collaborate across internal teams and external partners to design and implement integrated solutions and processes for cross-functional programs, coordinating end-to-end schedules, tracking dependencies, and driving adjustments when projects diverge from goals or timelines.
- Define success criteria and performance metrics for portfolio programs, ensure required telemetry and reporting are in place, and use these insights to inform risk mitigation plans and prioritization decisions for regional delivery.
- Develop and run portfolio rhythms of business and status reporting that provide a single, trusted view of milestones, risks, and capacity impacts, enabling timely decisions by leadership and partner teams.
- Partner with engineering, design, operations, and other stakeholders to implement automa
