Technical Program Manager - Networking

Role description

Role Overview

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive the delivery of the network builds behind Nscale's GPU clusters across Europe. This is a delivery-ownership role, not a pure coordination one. You'll run the schedule, risk, and dependency management for network bring-up across multiple concurrent sites.

What You Will Do

Own the end-to-end program plan for network deployment across GPU cluster builds — from hardware delivery and cabling through fabric bring-up, acceptance testing, and customer handover. Drive cross-functional coordination between Network Engineering, Network Architecture, Data Centre Operations, vendors, and customers to keep builds on schedule.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Every day a network build slips is a day a customer's GPUs sit idle. Your work decides whether our builds land on schedule, on spec, and ready for the customers waiting on them.

Requirements

• 5+ years of technical program or project management experience in large-scale data centre, cloud, or network infrastructure environments.
• Experience at a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or major network vendor, or delivering comparable large-scale infrastructure programs.
• Strong working knowledge of data centre networking concepts (routing/switching, fabric architectures, WAN edge) sufficient to assess technical risk and challenge status reporting.
• Track record of managing multiple concurrent, fast-moving builds with hard customer deadlines.
• Skilled at vendor and stakeholder management, including holding partners accountable to committed schedules.
• Strong program reporting and communication skills — able to translate technical status into clear, decision-ready updates for leadership and customers.
• Calm under pressure, comfortable making trade-off calls on live builds with incomplete information.
• Willingness to travel across Europe to sites as needed.
