Senior Principal Technical Program Manager

Oracle Oracle · Enterprise · Seattle, WA +1

This role is for a Senior Principal Technical Program Manager at Oracle, focused on scaling data center infrastructure and accelerating GPU capacity delivery. The TPM will lead end-to-end program delivery from construction to handover, managing cross-functional teams and driving standardized execution mechanisms, risk visibility, and clear communication to leadership. The role requires extensive experience in program management, infrastructure delivery, and stakeholder alignment, with a focus on fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own end-to-end delivery for data center build and fit-out programs, from construction execution through readiness, commissioning, and GPU infrastructure handover.
  2. Lead cross-functional teams through requirements, integrated schedule, milestone management, dependency tracking, and change control.
  3. Drive alignment across Construction, Engineering, Network, Hardware/GPU, Facilities, Security, Capacity, Supply Chain/Procurement, and Operations.
  4. Establish and run program mechanisms: weekly execution reviews, risk/issue management, decision logs, action tracking, launch/readiness gates, and executive reporting.
  5. Manage critical-path planning and unblock constraints (e.g., long-lead materials, commissioning readiness, design changes, site constraints, vendor performance).
