We are seeking a Senior Customer Program Manager to support the planning and execution of technical and operational programs for key partners and maintain strong customer relationships. As a key member of the Customer Program Management Team, this role will drive collaboration with major enterprise customers, cloud service providers, and Tier-1 partners. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical program management expertise, a solid engineering background, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced environments while ensuring successful outcomes for both internal teams and external collaborators

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Translate customer and partner requirements into actionable tasks for engineering, operations, and product teams, ensuring alignment with program priorities and technical feasibility.

• Provide cross-functional leadership and coordination, driving execution across engineering, operations, and customer programs to deliver predictable, high-quality results.

• Act as the primary customer and partner interface, facilitating program kickoffs, technical and business reviews, and issue management — ensuring clear communication and trusted relationships throughout the engagement lifecycle.

• Drive program execution from inception through production launch, maintaining close collaboration with customers to manage program scope, schedules, and deliverables.

• Provide ongoing post-launch support, managing priorities, customer escalations, and feedback, while ensuring smooth operational continuity and performance optimization.

• Monitor program progress and resource commitments, collaborating with supplier, partner, and technical teams to meet deployment timelines and quality goals.

• Proactively communicate program status, risks, actions, and achievements to customers, internal teams, and leadership, ensuring transparency and alignment across all stakeholder groups.

What We Need to See:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience (business or technology management experience also valued).

• 12+ years of program/project management experience in cloud services, enterprise technology, or AI solution deployment environments.

• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, AI inference workflows, and hardware acceleration technologies (GPUs or edge compute).

• Proven experience managing complex, customer-facing programs involving both technical and business stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to bridge technical concepts and customer needs, driving alignment between engineering deliverables and customer success outcomes.

• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, with a talent for fostering trust and collaboration across functional and geographic boundaries.

• Strong organizational and leadership abilities in highly dynamic, cross-functional environments.

• Comfort working across diverse, multicultural teams and engaging with customers at both executive and operational levels.

• Willingness to travel as required (up to 10%) and thrive in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

• Experience leading customer partnership programs for AI or cloud service providers, especially in inference or model deployment.

• Technical depth in AI model architectures and performance optimization on cloud or hybrid systems.

• Track record of balancing technical innovation with practical delivery for enterprise customers.

• Strong grasp of production scaling and reliability of inference pipelines or GPU infrastructure.

• Outstanding leadership in stakeholder management, cross-functional communication, and issue resolution.
