• Partner with customer executives and OCI engineering, product, operations, support, and capacity teams to drive alignment, execution, and measurable outcomes.

• Own cross-functional program delivery for large-scale GPU deployments, from dock-to-live execution through operational readiness, customer launch, migration, and major service expansion.

• Establish operating rhythms, execution frameworks, KPIs, and review mechanisms that improve predictability, transparency, and accountability across strategic customer programs.

• Identify delivery risks, operational gaps, reliability concerns, and customer-impacting blockers early; drive mitigation plans through resolution.

• Support incident readiness, escalation management, post-incident follow-up, and corrective-action tracking for strategic customer environments.

• Build trusted relationships with senior customer stakeholders and internal OCI leaders, translating complex technical and operational requirements into clear plans and milestones.

• Mentor and develop program managers and cross-functional leaders, raising the bar for execution quality, operational discipline, and customer-focused delivery.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading program management, infrastructure delivery, or customer engineering teams at scale.

• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, data center operations, GPU infrastructure, networking, compute, storage, and operational readiness.

• Demonstrated success driving complex cross-functional programs across engineering, product, operations, support, and customer-facing teams.

• Experience working directly with senior customer stakeholders and executive leadership.

• Strong communication, presentation, relationship-building, and escalation-management skills.

• Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations, drive alignment across competing priorities, and maintain momentum in high-pressure environments.
