Job summary

CoreWeave is seeking a senior program leader to drive network backbone and fiber connectivity initiatives across new markets. You will coordinate cross‑functional teams, manage vendor relationships, and ensure milestones align with data center readiness.

You will work with Legal, Finance, Engineering, and Operations to track commitments, approve gates, and escalate blockers. A strong technical background in hardware lifecycles and network transport is essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in technical program management, program operations, or strategic analytics within data center, network infrastructure, telecommunications, or capital‑intensive sectors.
• Working knowledge of network backbone and fiber infrastructure — long‑haul and metro fiber, dark fiber and IRU structures, DWDM/optical transport, interconnection and colocation cross‑connects, route diversity, and the mechanics of a fiber build.
• Comfortable managing external vendors and partners to schedule, quality, and contractual commitments — carriers, dark fiber providers, construction contractors, or equivalent.
• Solid understanding of hardware development lifecycles.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams, influence without direct authority, and drive consensus in a fast‑paced environment.
• Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
• Proficiency in program management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Sheet).

Responsibilities

• Own and continuously maintain the master interdependency tracker linking the international pipeline to the domestic development pipeline.
• Drive cross‑functional accountability across Legal, Finance, Engineering, and Operations: track commitments, follow up on action items, escalate blockers.
• Own the end‑to‑end program plan for network backbone and fiber connectivity at each new market and site — from route planning through testing and turn‑up.
• Manage carrier, dark fiber provider, subsea consortium, and construction partner deliverables against schedule, quality, and diversity requirements.
• Ensure all opportunities and programs progress through intake, review, and approval gates on schedule.
• Maintain a connectivity view of the portfolio and lead technical discussions with network engineering and architecture teams.
• Build and improve systems that scale the function: intake workflows, tracking templates, milestone frameworks, reporting cadences.
