Job Summary
About Fluidstack
At Fluidstack we build the compute data centers and power that will fuel artificial superintelligence. We supply GWs of compute capabilities to the worlds biggest AI Labs at industry-defining speeds.
Our team is small fast and obsessed with quality. We own outcomes end-to-end challenge assumptions and treat our customers problems as our own. No task is beneath anyone here.
There are a few thousand people who will shape the trajectory of superintelligence. Come and be one of them.
About the Role
As a Technical Program Manager for Deployments you will own the end-to-end program delivery required to bring data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment coordinating across construction infrastructure networking systems engineering procurement and operations teams to ensure deployment readiness and successful go-lives.
This role requires an ownership mindset. You will be expected to move programs forward with sometimes incomplete information surface and resolve gaps and ensure progress across teams responsible for construction networking hardware operations and beyond. While physical installation and construction execution are owned by partner teams you are accountable for overall delivery outcomes and are expected to fill gaps before they become blockers.
The best candidates for this role bring deep experience in the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment not just one or the other. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness how ICT and CDU work intersect and how to hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries.

Own program delivery for data hall and AI cluster activation from planning through operational handoff
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction infrastructure network hardware ICT commissioning and operations execution
Translate hyperscale AI/GPU and DLC infrastructure requirements into actionable deployment plans

Develop and drive executive-level program status briefings that clearly communicate schedule health risks key decisions and escalations paths
Maintain clear current program artifacts: schedules RACI matrices risk registers decision logs and deployment runbooks
Maintain momentum through changing requirements tight timelines and cross-time-zone execution
Collaborate closely with SMEs in networking ICT commissioning systems engineerings product procurement operations and more before execution not in isolation.
