Data Center - Project Manager

The Site Project & Program Manager owns end-to-end program delivery for an operational pre-integrated rack production and deployment site. This role is the single program point of accountability on site: it owns rack production scheduling and arrival, materials coordination, warehouse balance, BOM accuracy, QA/QC and RMA processes, and the working interface with the integration partner and cross-functional teams. The role translates rack demand and need-by dates into an executable production and materials plan, maintains clear ownership boundaries between internal teams and the integration partner, and gives leadership a clear, numbers-based view of throughput, backlog, material readiness, and risk.

The role is expected to preserve production continuity while strengthening the operating model, including trackers, forecasts, escalation paths, documented ownership, and automation of manual workflows.

• Operational Leadership & Operating Model Assume ownership of the rack integration program with minimal disruption; maintain clear scope, ownership, cadence, meeting structure, reporting, and escalation paths.
• Review, clarify, and maintain the internal-team vs. integration-partner responsibility matrix — including PO creation, material transfer, material delivery, rack build, on-site variations, QA/QC, and RMA — and keep written agreement current as scope evolves.
• Identify and close ownership gaps where a responsibility is claimed on paper but not actually being executed on site.
• Strengthen existing workflows using proven operating models from comparable sites, and feed improvements back to the broader program.

• Rack Production Planning & Scheduling Convert rack demand, need-by dates, and site requirements into a production schedule and rack arrival plan; sequence builds against material availability and warehouse capacity.
• Own rack scheduling and arrival, in-rack cabling, network, and optics coordination with the site build teams.
• Provide accurate BOMs and rack demand to the materials function; partner with product quality engineering on BOM development and build-BOM ownership.
• Align production schedule with the integration partner's actual throughput capability, and escalate when the two diverge.
• Re-plan quickly when program decommits, forecast changes, or scope pivots change need-by dates — and quantify the downstream impact each time rather than absorbing churn silently.

• Materials, Inventory & Warehouse Process Integration Maintain strong awareness of and integrate with process for incoming and outgoing material coordination, including truck coordination and daily inbound volume.
• Align operational workflows with guidelines to support warehouse balance — neither overstocked nor understocked — and ensure safety hazards from pallets staged in aisles or between rows are prevented.
• Feed rolling two-week demand forecasts and lock them for the integration partner's production planning.
• Coordinate move orders, BOM-to-material matching, and mismatch resolutions through integrated materials systems.
• Serve as the day-to-day liaison to the integration partner's materials team, aligning daily material signals with workflows.
• Monitor and support resolution of aged, excess, or stranded inventory resulting from design or implementation changes.
• Collaborate across on-site programs to align shared warehouse space and protect committed turnaround times.

• Quality, RMA & On-Site Variations Own QA/QC failure triage and the RMA process end to end, including clearing and preventing RMA backlogs.
• Manage on-site variations to rack design and deployment methodology, with documented decisions and traceability.
• Ensure rack deployment methodology is followed consistently and captured in site…
