Nscale is the GPU cloud engineered for AI. We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start‑ups and large enterprise customers. Our GPU cloud empowers AI‑focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. At Nscale, the Business Operations team builds the systems, processes, and insights that drive execution and decision‑making across the company. We create clarity, remove blockers, and ensure teams have the tools, data, and support they need to move quickly and confidently.

We’re looking for a Programme Manager to lead cross‑functional operational and infrastructure programs through the Lead‑to‑Load (L2L) lifecycle. You’ll bring structure, visibility and momentum to complex initiatives – coordinating Commercial, Finance, Infrastructure, IT and Biz Ops. You’ll run planning cadences, manage risks and dependencies, and ensure decisions are data‑backed and timely. This role is ideal for a calm operator who loves turning strategy into execution, builds trust quickly and keeps stakeholders aligned through crisp communication and predictable delivery.

• Own the end‑to‑end planning, tracking, and execution of multi‑workstream initiatives (e.g., new region launches, infrastructure scale‑ups, process or systems overhauls).
• Translate strategic goals into actionable delivery plans with clear milestones, owners, and success metrics.
• Create and maintain programme artefacts — roadmaps, RAID logs, decision registers, dependency trackers.
• Monitor progress against KPIs and proactively identify gaps or bottlenecks before they impact delivery.

• Facilitate coordination between Commercial, Finance, Infrastructure, and Biz Ops teams.
• Lead recurring governance rituals: programme reviews, exec updates, and retrospectives.
• Ensure decisions, actions, and risks are clearly documented and cascaded.
• Provide senior‑level visibility through dashboards, briefings, and progress summaries.

• Maintain risk and dependency registers; ensure mitigations are owned and tracked.
• Establish and enforce stage‑gate or readiness frameworks to maintain quality control.
• Partner with Planning and Ops to balance competing priorities and resource constraints.
• Support audit readiness and traceability of key programme decisions.

• Analyse programme performance to identify root causes of delays or inefficiencies.
• Develop playbooks, templates, and training to improve delivery consistency.
• Embed data‑driven decision‑making into programme management routines.
• Coach stakeholders in structured execution practices, fostering accountability and ownership.

• 8+ years of experience in programme or project management within operations, infrastructure, or technology environments.
• Proven success leading cross‑functional initiatives with complex dependencies and multiple stakeholders.
• Experience implementing programme governance, reporting frameworks, and risk management processes.
• Strong understanding of operational planning, capacity management, or supply chain concepts.
• Proficiency with collaboration and tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Confluence, Smartsheet, Power BI).
• Familiarity with OKRs and quarterly planning cycles.
• PMP, Prince2, or Agile certification desirable but not essential.
• Ability to balance strategic foresight with hands‑on execution and follow‑through.

• A collaborative, supportive, and innovative environment where your contributions will make a real impact.
• A competitive compensation package (base + equity) with reviews every 12 months.
• Work at one of the fastest‑growing tech startups, backed by top PE/VC firms.
• A clear progression plan that encourages you to grow, lead, and challenge the status quo with full support.
• Flexibility and remote‑first culture, allowing you to shape your workday and maintain balance.
• Inclusive benefits that respect and support diverse backgrounds and life circumstances.
