The role will translate complex business and technical inputs into executive-level recommendations that drive measurable business outcomes, improve decision quality, and optimize capital efficiency and margin performance.\n Own the strategy, planning, and execution of major OCI capacity and demand planning programs affecting core infrastructure products and global deployment operations.\nDevelop and govern integrated consensus demand plans across customers, initiatives, regions, sites, products, SKUs, and planning horizons, including baseline, upside, and risk-adjusted scenarios.\nTranslate demand forecasts into executable supply, manufacturing, allocation, and deployment plans by identifying constraints, dependencies, decision points, and required resource commitments.\nIntegrate New Product Introduction (NPI) roadmaps and product lifecycle transitions with demand, qualification, supply, manufacturing, and deployment plans to enable scalable platform ramps while minimizing capacity gaps and stranded inventory.\nEstablish and scale cross-functional operating cadences, governance models, KPI frameworks, and executive review mechanisms that improve visibility, accountability, alignment, and decision-making.\nLead high-value capacity and capital decisions involving long-lead components, supplier commitment windows, site readiness, allocation alternatives, cost of capital, inventory exposure, customer delivery, and revenue timing.\nDevelop clear decision frameworks and recommendations using scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, financial modeling, break-even analysis, and expected-value assessment.\nEvaluate end-to-end supply chain and deployment constraints across CPU, GPU, networking, storage, racks, power, space, and data center dependencies; drive mitigation, reallocation, prioritization, or re-baselining before critical deadlines.\nDefine performance measures for forecast accuracy, plan attainment, supply coverage, inventory exposure, decision quality, capital efficiency, and revenue alignment. Lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement across planning processes, data, and systems.\nConvert large, incomplete, and sometimes conflicting data sets into concise executive narratives, business reviews, decision memos, dashboards, and presentations that clearly communicate assumptions, trade-offs, risks, and required decisions.\nAnticipate organization-wide risks and execution bottlenecks, mobilize the appropriate subject-matter experts, and drive resolution across organizational boundaries.\nAct as a force multiplier by developing repeatable planning standards, mentoring partner teams, raising the operating standard, and influencing outcomes without relying on direct authority.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, computer science, supply chain, operations, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n10+ years of relevant experience in technical program management, capacity or demand planning, supply chain operations, cloud infrastructure, or related disciplines.\nProven experience leading large-scale, cross-functional programs and delivering measurable business impact in complex, matrixed organizations.\nStrong business acumen and demonstrated expertise in forecasting, scenario modeling, product lifecycle planning, supply-demand balancing, operational planning, and risk management.\nAbility to thrive in ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and translate strategic demand into executable, supply- and site-constrained plans.\nExperience supporting senior and executive leadership through strategic planning, business reviews, resource prioritization, and operational decision-making.\nExceptional written, verbal, and executive presentation skills, with the ability to influence technical and business leaders at all levels.\nAdvanced analytical capabilities and experience converting technical, operational, financial, and customer inputs into actionable recommendations.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with hyperscale cloud, AI/GPU infrastructure, data center capacity, or server, storage, and networking hardware.\nExperience leading NPI-to-scale transitions, S&OP or integrated business planning processes, and long-lead supplier or capital decisions.\nExperience with financial and business-performance modeling, planning automation, business intelligence, or decision-support systems.\nGraduate degree, including an MBA, or relevant program management, supply chain, finance, or operations certification.\n Disclaimer:Certain U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization/occupational health mandates, and/or drug testing requirements.\nRange and benefit information provided in this posting are specific to the stated locations only\nUS: Hiring Range in USD from: $116,600 to $264,100 per annum.
