Principal Technical Program Manager

Principal Technical Program Manager – Data Hall Design

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is scaling rapidly to meet global cloud and AI capacity demand. The Datacenter Design organization is expanding its technical program management capability to improve the speed, consistency, and predictability of data hall design delivery across Oracle's global datacenter portfolio.

We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager – Data Hall Design to drive complex, cross-functional infrastructure programs that support OCI capacity growth. This role will report to the Director of Technical Program Management for Data Hall Design and will operate as a senior individual contributor responsible for program execution, delivery governance, risk management, dependency tracking, process improvement, and stakeholder alignment.

Data Hall Design includes the physical infrastructure design work streams required to prepare data halls for scalable OCI deployment, including structured cabling, fiber infrastructure, low-voltage systems, physical networking dependencies, construction handoffs, colocation readiness, and operational handoff milestones.

This is an individual contributor role with no direct people-management responsibilities. Success in this role requires technical depth, strong ownership, structured execution, executive-ready communication, and the ability to drive clarity across ambiguous, high-stakes infrastructure programs.

Program Leadership and Governance

• Drive planning and execution for complex Data Hall Design programs, including roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and measurable outcomes.
• Establish and maintain program mechanisms such as milestone reviews, dependency trackers, risk registers, executive updates, KPI dashboards, and escalation paths.
• Translate OCI capacity priorities into clear execution plans that align design, construction, networking, colocation, operations, supply chain, vendor, and automation work streams.
• Prepare clear, concise updates for senior leaders, including delivery status, risks, trade-offs, mitigation plans, and decision recommendations.

Data Hall Design Delivery

• Drive cross-functional execution across structured cabling, fiber infrastructure, low-voltage systems, physical networking dependencies, construction handoffs, colocation readiness, and operational handoff milestones.
• Partner with design engineering teams to ensure deliverables support scalability, maintainability, performance, cost, deployment speed, and operational readiness.
• Identify and resolve blockers that could impact design release dates, construction execution, network readiness, vendor delivery, colocation fit-out, or OCI capacity availability.
• Maintain accurate program plans, schedules, dependency maps, decision records, and status reporting across assigned programs.

Process Excellence and Standardization

• Drive adoption of standardized design processes, templates, review cadences, handoff checklists, exception tracking, and change-management mechanisms.
• Use data, metrics, and operating reviews to improve schedule predictability, blocker resolution, design package readiness, and handoff quality.
• Partner with tooling, workflow automation, dashboarding, and reporting teams to improve visibility, accountability, and execution performance.
• Capture lessons learned and help improve repeatable program mechanisms across regions and design work streams.

Cross-Functional Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as a key execution partner across Datacenter Design, Physical Networking, Construction, Colocation, Capacity Planning, Supply Chain, Datacenter Operations, Infrastructure Delivery, vendors, and automation teams.
• Align stakeholders around goals, owners, timelines, risks, trade-offs, and decision points.
• Influence without direct authority to drive accountability, unblock execution, and maintain urgency across multiple organizations.
• Communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders at multiple levels, from detailed project reviews to senior leadership updates.

• 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Infrastructure Program Management, Datacenter Delivery,…
