Principal Program Manager, Network Infrastructure Deployment & Delivery

Job Description

As Principal Program Manager, Network Infrastructure Deployment & Delivery, you will own the end-to-end execution of OCI’s data center network deployment programs, translating capacity demand and engineering designs into delivered, tested, production-ready network infrastructure. You will lead delivery across multiple sites and workstreams, coordinating the full lifecycle from design readiness and bill-of-materials alignment through staging, install, configuration, turn-up, validation, and operational handoff.

This role is accountable for the successful deployment and integration of OCI network domains including data center core, spine/leaf fabric, WAN/edge connectivity, and corporate network services within data center environments. You will establish clear milestones, readiness gates, and acceptance criteria, manage cross-functional dependencies (Engineering, Capacity Planning, Construction, Supply Chain, Security, NOC/Operations, and vendors/carriers), and drive rapid risk mitigation and issue resolution to keep builds on schedule.

Success requires strong program governance and execution discipline, ensuring deployments meet OCI requirements for availability, scalability, performance, security, and operational supportability—while protecting schedule, cost, quality, and customer delivery commitments as the portfolio scales.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities

• Own the network deployment and delivery roadmap across OCI data centers and expansion sites (new builds and capacity adds).

• Lead execution of data center core and spine/leaf deployments, including staging, installation, configuration, validation, and readiness gates.

• Drive delivery of WAN and edge connectivity (carrier coordination, circuit readiness, turn-up planning, resiliency testing).

• Manage deployment of corporate network services within data centers (enterprise connectivity, segmentation, access, and integration requirements).

• Establish and run program governance: milestones, dependency management, risk tracking, change control, and executive reporting.

• Coordinate across Engineering, Capacity Planning, Construction, Supply Chain, NOC/Operations, Security, and external vendors/carriers.

• Define and standardize repeatable deployment playbooks, acceptance criteria, and operational handoff processes to scale delivery.

• Proactively remove blockers, drive rapid issue resolution, and lead escalations to keep sites on track.

• Ensure deployment activities meet security, compliance, and operational reliability expectations.

What success looks like

• Network-ready milestones hit consistently across sites with minimal rework.

• Repeatable, standardized deployment processes that increase throughput and reduce cost/schedule risk.

• High-quality turn-ups with clear validation, documentation, and smooth transition to operations.

Qualifications (typical)

• Extensive program leadership experience delivering large-scale data center network deployments.

• Strong working knowledge of spine/leaf architectures, core routing, WAN/transport, and enterprise/corporate network integration.

• Proven ability to manage complex cross-team dependencies, vendors, and carriers in high-velocity environments.

• Excellent executive communication, risk management, and operational rigor
