Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.\nIf you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.\nRole Overview\nLambda is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to own the integrated delivery program for new data center builds, from the handoff of a selected site by Real Estate through construction, commissioning, operational readiness, and turnover to Network Deployment. You will be the single source of truth for milestones, risks, and dependencies on your sites, leading internal teams and external partners (GCs, design firms, utilities, and vendors) across site work, utilities, shell, MEP, controls, white space, inspections, and commissioning.\nAmbiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and the stakes are central to company growth. As we scale beyond our first sites, you will help build the playbooks and governance that let us run many concurrent deployments well.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the integrated schedule from site handoff to Operations; break builds into workstreams with clear owners and milestones, and actively manage the critical path and schedule compression.\n\nDrive the delivery sequence from rack requirements to engineering criteria, design, plan set, permitting, construction, commissioning, and turnover for MW-scale, high-density (including liquid-cooled) capacity.\n\nLead cross-functional execution with Real Estate (site assumptions, fiber, permit path), Energy and Utilities (interconnection, substation, power delivery), Engineering (requirements in the design and plan set), Procurement (long-lead equipment), Construction Management (GC schedule, field progress, inspections), Commissioning (test plans, acceptance), Operations (staffing, procedures, access), and Security, and Finance (requirements, budget, CapEx), and Legal.\n\nManage risk and governance: maintain risk registers, dependency logs, decision trackers, and schedule variance reports; surface permitting, utility, design, procurement, sequencing, and commissioning risks early.\n\nEscalate with facts: status, baseline vs. forecast date, variance, impact, owner, mitigation options, and decision date. Lead schedule recovery when milestones slip.\n\nHold partners accountable to contractual milestones, production and shipping schedules, and commercial commitments while maintaining productive relationships.\n\nCommunicate to leadership through program reviews and concise, high-signal status updates.\n\nDeliver clean turnover: define handover criteria and ensure white space, power, cooling, controls, cable pathways, access, and documentation are ready for Network Deployment.\n\nScale the function: build repeatable playbooks, dashboards, and lessons-learned loops across concurrent deployments.\n\nTravel (~40%) to sites to validate progress and build partner relationships.\n\nScope of Ownership\nOwns: site-level delivery program management; the integrated schedule; cross-functional coordination; milestone, risk, dependency, and decision tracking; variance reporting and escalation; Operations readiness.\n\nPartners on, but does not own: site selection and real estate; engineering design authority; construction means and methods and GC management; commissioning authority; procurement commercial strategy; network and services deployment; steady-state operations.\n\nYou\nHave 7+ years in data center delivery, infrastructure or construction program management, mission-critical facilities, or large capital projects.\n\nHave delivered ground-up data centers or comparable mission-critical, industrial, semiconductor, or energy facilities, ideally multi-site on compressed timelines.\n\nKnow the full lifecycle: site handoff, permitting, design, utilities, procurement, construction, MEP, controls, commissioning, and turnover.\n\nRun integrated schedules, critical path, dependency logs, and change control with rigor.\n\nUnderstand technical tradeoffs well enough to spot risks, ask precise questions, and escalate without owning design authority.\n\nAlign partners, vendors, and engineering teams around shared deliverables, and bridge physical infrastructure with network and security teams.\n\nMake sound decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure, and communicate status clearly to executives.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\n\nNice to Have\nHyperscale, AI/GPU, cloud region, or high-density compute delivery experience.\n\nUtility interconnection, substation, MV/HV power, and liquid cooling experience.\n\nWork with colocation providers, GCs, EPCs, commissioning agents, and permitting authorities.\n\nPMP, construction management, engineering, or project controls certification.\n\nSuccess Measures\nSites reach infrastructure turnover on the committed timeline.\n\nMilestones across engineering, construction, commissioning, operations, procurement, and utilities are visible and accurate.\n\nCritical path risks are escalated early with a clear owner, impact, and mitigation options.\n\nHandoff to Operations meets defined readiness criteria, with no major gaps.\n\nSalary Range Information\nThe annual salary range for this position has been set based on market data and other factors.
