Key skills for this role
The Senior Manager, Technical Program Management, Data Center Build and Design is the program leadership seat for how TensorWave builds data centers.
You will lead the Technical Program Management team responsible for data center design and build delivery across our largest campuses, the 100 MW and above deployments that carry the majority of our committed capacity. You own the delivery framework that governs every site: a thirteen gate structure that runs from site qualification through basis of design, design freeze, permitting and long lead commitment, construction mobilization, substantial completion, energization, commissioning, turnover to operations, and into revenue service.
The engineering belongs to Construction Engineering and Design, MEP Engineering, and Operations. The general contractors, colocation partners, and vendor bench execute the work. You own the program: the integrated schedule, the cross-organizational dependencies, the gate packages, the risk register, and the honest status. This is a maximum leverage, minimum direct authority role. Your influence comes from cadence, written discipline, and being the person in the room whose read on the schedule everyone trusts.
You will also build the team. This seat manages a group of TPMs, with a target model of a dedicated program manager anchored to each campus delivering 100 MW or more, and you are accountable for hiring them, leveling them, and developing them into a bench that scales as the portfolio does.
Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

Phase gate framework ownership. Run the thirteen gate delivery structure as a live system across every active site and data hall. Gate package quality, review cadence, three outcome discipline (pass, conditional pass with a dated owner, or hold with a scheduled re-review), and conditional pass tracking to closure. No waived gates, including turnover acceptance by Operations.
Team leadership. Build and manage a team of four to eight technical program managers across levels covering concurrent multi-site builds. Own hiring plans, capacity allocation across sites, performance calibration, career development, and the onboarding and training that makes a new TPM productive on a site inside 30 days.
Integrated schedule and portfolio truth. Own the design and build layer of the integrated master schedule: critical path logic, gate milestones, interlocks between whitespace design and facility design freeze, long lead procurement commitments, and fit-out sequencing in completed zones. Produce portfolio status that executive leadership can act on without re-verifying it.
General contractor and colocation partner accountability. Hold external contractors, landlords, and the vendor bench to scope, schedule, and deliverable quality. Own the interface milestone discipline for colocation sites, where early gates are landlord controlled but our readiness reviews, acceptance, and service readiness are not.
Escalation and recovery. Be the first and usually the last line on high priority delivery blockers. Diagnose, assemble the options, drive the decision, and communicate the recovery plan in writing. Executive intervention should be a choice, not a requirement.
Compounding delivery velocity. Capture cycle time data per gate and per site, feed lessons into the playbook while they are fresh, and prove that site N+1 clears gates faster than site N. Make the framework leaner over time, never heavier.
