OpenAI is seeking someone who is excited by massive global challenges spanning thousands of stakeholders; someone motivated by solving complex, interconnected problems. The Infrastructure Strategy & Delivery team supporting Stargate is hiring a Technical Program Manager to coordinate datacenter deployments in partnership with external development and operations teams. Delivering a data center is not easy. It requires a cross-functional understanding of commercial dependencies, build timelines, equipment material readiness, design specifics, commissioning timelines, and much more. Beyond the specifics, it requires the right mindset: to think around corners and de-risk problems before they happen. This role will focus on site deployment management, ensuring our data center/supercomputer projects are set up for success and delivered on-time and that our strategic partners meet contractual milestones for AI compute delivery. By establishing relationships, establishing critical timelines and commercial SLAs, and driving supplier performance across the data center industrial base, this role will sit at a critical point in OpenAI’s infrastructure, and organizational, strategy. Infrastructure is destiny, and you get to sit in the driver’s seat!
Job Responsibility:
Drive partner performance to meet critical commercial SLAs, construction schedules, and compute-deployment commitments
Serve as the primary interface with external partners for contract alignment, risk escalation, and high-level reporting
De-risk datacenter deployments by identifying critical path items, surfacing blockers early, and coordinating mitigations
Manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and timely decision-making
Provide pre-construction support during project approval, establishing benchmarks and structures based on industry best practices
Support rack manufacturing ramps by coordinating with partners to track production, shipping, and site-readiness milestones, ensuring racks arrive on schedule and meet quality standards
Lead structured program management from pre-construction through commissioning, including forecasting, budget tracking, documentation control, and regular executive updates
Oversee project milestones and ensure alignment across vendors—including architects, engineers, suppliers, and construction teams—while maintaining and updating risk registers to evaluate contingencies and drive resolution
Support broader site-readiness initiatives such as delivery tracking, turnover planning, and handover readiness
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or equivalent field
Experience managing complicated and complex technical projects
Experience managing large organizations with senior stakeholders
A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in construction and project planning within large-scale, multi-project construction programs

Familiarity with cost control tools such as eBuilder, Procore, or similar platforms
Ability to effectively communicate financial and scheduling details from multiple construction sites to project stakeholders
