Lead Principal Program Manager - Infrastructure Delivery – Network and Data Center

The Data Center Infrastructure Delivery team at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a

dynamic group of professionals dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art data

center facilities at scale and at pace. This team comprises experienced project

managers who work collaboratively with vendors and internal teams to ensure the

successful execution of complex data center construction and network projects.

They bring a wealth of expertise in project management, technical design, and

on-site construction, ensuring that our data centers meet the highest standards

of quality, efficiency, and sustainability. 

This team plays a crucial role in supporting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's data

needs and driving our growth and success.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Lead Principal Technical Program Manager to lead end-to-end

Data Center infrastructure build programs across the JAPAC region, with

opportunities to support global initiatives as required.

You will drive end-to-end infrastructure delivery—from planning and site

readiness through deployment, commissioning, operational handover, and customer

readiness. Success in this role requires strong technical understanding of

hyperscale infrastructure, exceptional program execution, and the ability to

identify risks, remove blockers, and accelerate delivery across multiple

stakeholders.

This role is ideal for an execution-focused TPM who thrives in fast-paced

environments and can confidently lead complex, cross-functional infrastructure

programs.

Strategically, you will be responsible for developing and implementing

comprehensive plans that optimize efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and

operational excellence in delivery. You will engage with key stakeholders,

manage high-stakes vendor relationships, and navigate the complexities of

regulatory compliance. Your ability to anticipate and mitigate risks to

datacenter delivery will be crucial in maintaining project timelines and

budgets. This is a high- impact role that will lead, drive, and ensure the

successful management and delivery of critical initiatives on our strategic

roadmap. The role comes with a high degree of personal accountability and

autonomy and will require effective engagement across Design, Engineering and

Operations. 

Your ability to anticipate and mitigate risks will be crucial in maintaining

project timelines and budgets. The successful candidate will demonstrate the

ability to own end-to-end delivery of network and data center capacity across

concurrent builds.

This role will oversee data center focused projects and initiatives. Managing

these construction projects well is key to the overall success of customer

deliveries. You will engage directly with our Colo and LV partners’ leadership

and project management teams, driving accountability and improvements to meet

our customers’ needs. You will also engage with internal teams to make sure we

deliver the proper design and process documentation to the Colo, execute on our

ISP circuit contracts, and update all internal tracking tools for handover to

our operations teams at the end of the project.

RESPONSIBILITIES

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will lead complex, large-scale

data center infrastructure programs from early strategy and design through

construction, commissioning, and final delivery. You’ll bring together technical

teams, construction partners, vendors, and senior stakeholders to turn ambitious

infrastructure plans into operational data centers.

* Own complex data center programs end to end, shaping the delivery strategy

and leading projects from early planning and design through construction,

commissioning, and operational readiness.

* Drive integrated planning across multiple teams, partnering closely with

Design, Construction, Engineering, Network, and Operations to ensure

requirements are aligned and transitions between project phases are seamless.

* Coordinate critical technical scopes, including tenant fit-out, low-voltage

(LV) infrastructure, network builds, and other dependencies to ensure they

are fully integrated into the overall construction program.

* Lead delivery against schedule, budget, quality, and operational goals, using

strong program controls to identify issues early, resolve complex

dependencies, and keep large-scale projects moving forward.

* Anticipate and manage program risks, applying sound technical and commercial

judgement to develop mitigation plans and make informed decisions in a

fast-moving construction environment.

* Lead key vendors and delivery partners, supporting contractor and supplier

selection, commercial negotiations, performance management, and successful

execution of contracted work.

* Influence stakeholders at all levels, providing clear visibility of progress,

risks, decisions, and trade-offs while building alignment across internal

teams and external partners.

* Set a high bar for quality and execution, establishing effective quality

controls and regularly visiting project sites to validate progress,

coordination, safety considerations, and construction quality.

* Provide technical and program leadership across the portfolio, using your

experience in data center design and construction to solve complex problems,

improve delivery practices, and help other project and technical leaders

succeed.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

* Significant experience leading large-scale, technically complex construction

or infrastructure programs from planning and design through construction,

commissioning, and final delivery.

* Proven ability to own multiple complex programs simultaneously, managing

schedules, budgets, dependencies, risks, and competing priorities in a

fast-paced environment.

* Strong technical understanding of mission-critical infrastructure,

construction, engineering, or data center environments, with the ability to

engage effectively with engineering and technical specialists.

* Demonstrated experience working across Design, Engineering, Construction,

Operations, and other technical teams to coordinate requirements and drive

successful project delivery.

* Strong program and project management capabilities, including advanced

planning, scheduling, progress tracking, risk management, and budget

oversight.

* Experience managing contractors, vendors, consultants, and suppliers,

including commercial discussions, contract performance, issue resolution, and

delivery accountability.

* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability

to influence senior leaders, technical teams, and external partners without

relying on direct authority.

* Strong analytical judgement and problem-solving ability, with a track record

of navigating ambiguity, resolving complex delivery challenges, and making

effective decisions under pressure.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

* Extensive experience delivering hyperscale, colocation, or other large-scale

data center construction programs, particularly in complex or rapidly growing

environments.

* Deep understanding of the data center development lifecycle, including

design, construction, commissioning, tenant fit-out, low-voltage systems,

network infrastructure, and operational handover.

* Experience establishing program-level strategies, standards, processes, and

governance that improve delivery across multiple projects rather than a

single construction site.

* Demonstrated knowledge of critical data center infrastructure and systems,

with an understanding of how design and construction decisions affect

reliability, scalability, operational readiness, and maintainability.

* Experience delivering projects involving multiple contractors, technical

workstreams, and interdependent scopes, with responsibility for coordinating

delivery across organizational boundaries.

* Experience identifying opportunities to improve cost, schedule, quality, and

delivery efficiency across a portfolio of infrastructure projects.

* Experience mentoring or providing technical and program leadership to project

managers, engineers, construction professionals, or other program leaders.

* Knowledge of emerging approaches to data center design, construction,

sustainability, and infrastructure technology would be an advantage.

* Japanese language ability would be advantageous for this role.
