Senior​/Technical Program Manager - Datacenter Capacity Delivery; E2E

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation. Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups.

OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

The DC Delivery E2E TPM is the single-threaded owner for delivering data center capacity from forecast → site strategy → design → construction → infrastructure readiness → go-live.

You will operate as the SSOT (Single Source of Truth) for delivery milestones, risks, and capacity outcomes while orchestrating cross-functional execution across internal teams and external partners. This is a frontier-scale role where ambiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and stakes are critical to company growth.

• Own delivery of AI-optimized data center capacity (colo, build-to-suit, retrofits, and owned facilities) from pre-contract planning through operational readiness.
• Deliver MW-scale infrastructure aligned to aggressive GPU/AI system deployment targets.
• Drive clarity from ambiguity—translate high-level demand signals into executable delivery programs.

• Decompose complex build programs into work streams with clear owners, milestones, and deliverables.
• Build integrated plans spanning real estate, power/energy, design, procurement, construction, and deployment.
• Establish critical path visibility and aggressively manage schedule compression.

• Orchestrate execution across:
  • Real estate & site selection
  • Power & energy strategy (utilities, PPAs, interconnects)
  • Data center design (MEP, liquid cooling, high-density racks)
  • Supply chain & long-lead equipment procurement
  • Construction & commissioning
  • Infrastructure deployment (rack/cluster install)
  • Networking & backbone connectivity
  • Security, compliance, and operations readiness
• Act as the primary interface with colocation providers, EPCs, utilities, and key vendors.

• Identify and drive resolution of critical risks, constraints, and blockers across power, equipment, permitting, and supply chain.
• Own and maintain program budgets, Cap Ex forecasts, and capital allocation narratives.
• Provide structured updates and escalation paths to executive leadership.

• Partner with capacity planning, AI infrastructure, and finance teams to translate model demand into site-level capacity strategies.
• Align build plans with power availability, network topology, and hardware rollout schedules.
• Continuously optimize for time-to-capacity and cost-per-MW / cost-per-GPU deployed.

• Drive E2E improvements in delivery through:
  • Standardization of build and commissioning processes
  • Implementation of program tooling and dashboards
  • Post-mortems and lessons learned loops
• Establish scalable mechanisms to support rapid global expansion.

• Serve as SSOT for program health, milestones, and risks.
• Deliver concise, high-signal updates to senior executives.
• Operate effectively across distributed teams with up to 50% travel.

• 12-15+ years in mission-critical facilities or data center operations
• Experience managing multi-site, vendor-heavy environments
• Strong expertise in electrical and mechanical systems
• Proven track record in improving uptime and performance

• Experience at hyperscalers (Google, Meta, Microsoft) or neo-cloud / AI infra companies (Core Weave, Lambda, etc.).
• Familiarity with high-density AI workloads (liquid cooling, >30kW racks, GPU clusters).
• Experience with:
  • Utility engagement and power delivery constraints
  • Long-lead supply chain planning (transformers, switch gear, chillers)
  • Com…
