Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Axe Compute is seeking a Deployment Program Manager to oversee multiple concurrent GPU cluster deployments from contract signature through customer go-live. The role manages cross-workstream planning, vendor coordination, client and executive reporting, and proactive risk, issue, and dependency mitigation across the deployment portfolio.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain sophisticated, dependency-aware project plans covering every workstream in a deployment: OEM hardware manufacturing and shipment, data center build-out, cluster build-out and provisioning, and network service provider dependencies
- Track multiple concurrent deployments simultaneously, on a global scale, maintaining a clear view of status, risk, and critical path across all of them
- Produce and deliver progress reporting to client stakeholders, translating technical status into terms relevant to their go-live planning
- Produce and deliver internal reporting to executive leadership and the Board, summarizing status, risk, and financial impact of deployment execution across the portfolio
- Proactively identify risks, issues, bottlenecks, and cross-workstream dependencies before they affect schedule or budget
- Own risk mitigation planning and escalation, coordinating the right stakeholders to resolve issues quickly
- Coordinate directly with OEM manufacturers on hardware orders and shipment timing, data center operators on build-out schedules, and network service providers on connectivity dependencies
- Work with the Lead GPU Cluster Solution Architect, Data Center Procurement and Operations Director, and Supply Chain to ensure every workstream is reflected accurately in the project plan
- Maintain working knowledge of GPU architecture and the full set of components and phases that go into building a cluster from scratch: data center readiness, equipment delivery and installation, vendor coordination (MSPs, data center operators, OEMs), and acceptance testing cycles
- Use this fluency to ask the right questions, spot schedule risk early, and communicate credibly with technical stakeholders on all sides
Skills
- 7+ years in program or project management for infrastructure, data center, telecom, or large-scale technology deployments, with direct experience managing multiple concurrent, complex projects
- Demonstrated understanding of GPU cluster architecture and the end-to-end deployment lifecycle (data center readiness, hardware delivery/installation, network turn-up, acceptance testing)
- Experience coordinating directly with OEM manufacturers, data center operators, and network/connectivity vendors
- Experience producing reporting for both client-facing and executive/Board-facing audiences
- Strong tools proficiency (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Confluence, Asana, or similar) for complex, multi-workstream project tracking
- PMP certification or equivalent
- Prior experience at a neocloud, hyperscaler, or GPU infrastructure provider
- Familiarity with NVIDIA Reference Architecture and cluster acceptance testing standards
