You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.

We are looking for a TPM who has in-depth experience with hyperscale cloud regions, data centers, strategic cloud capacity, cloud customer requirements, and cloud infra technical program management.
