About the Client:

Our client is one of the world's leading hyperscale technology companies, operating a large and fast-growing fleet of data centers across the US that power its global platforms and AI infrastructure. We are looking for experienced senior leaders across programme management, site delivery, technical authority, and safety to support a large-scale, multi-site data center programme.

Purpose: Runs programme control for a site cluster or a programme-wide workstream, so SDMs and field leads can stay on delivery. Keeps plans, readiness, reporting and client dependencies on track.

What you will do

• Track and chase client dependencies: onboarding and badging, tool access, site access windows, audit specification changes, discrepancy decisions.
• Run the readiness tracker for your area; turn amber items green before they reach the field.
• Produce reporting: daily ramp flash, weekly KPI pack, monthly operations review inputs; reconcile reported numbers to the audit log.
• Maintain RAID logs and change control; raise risks early to the Senior PMO Lead.
• Support commercials: PO and headcount tracking, timesheet and invoice accuracy, PO burn alerts.
• Coordinate with Talent Acquisition, HR, Travel, Admin, Procurement, and IT on the actions that unblock your sites.

What you bring

• 8+ years in programme or project management; 3+ years on multi-site field, construction, or data center programmes.
• Experience on hyperscaler data center buildouts (or their main contractors) strongly preferred.
• Strong planning and tracking discipline: MS Project or Smartsheet, Excel or Sheets, dashboards.
• Clear written updates for executive and client audiences; calm under daily schedule pressure.
• PMP, PgMP or PRINCE2 preferred.
• Willing to travel between sites.

How we will measure success (first 6 months)

• Readiness items for each site closed before its go-live date.
• Weekly packs on time with zero log-to-report variance.
• Client dependencies tracked with named owners and ageing; none older than 10 business days without escalation.
