Director, Technical Program Management, Networking

About the role

The Director of Technical Program Management for Networking will lead a team of TPMs responsible for delivering network infrastructure across European sites. This role oversees the end-to-end delivery of cluster, data centre, and WAN programmes, ensuring that complex builds are executed predictably and efficiently. The position requires hands-on leadership to manage cross-functional alignment and strategic vendor relationships to support Nscale's GPU cloud infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Build, lead, and mentor a team of Technical Program Managers covering cluster networking, data centre networking, and WAN delivery across Europe.
• Own the end-to-end network delivery plan for new GPU cluster builds and expansions, from hardware arrival through installation, validation, and customer acceptance.
• Set the operating model for network programme delivery: planning standards, milestone gates, risk and dependency management, and reporting.
• Partner with Network Engineering on design readiness, BOMs, and build sequencing for Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics, front-end networks, and WAN interconnects.
• Drive alignment across Deployment, Data Centre Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, SRE, and Commercial teams so network delivery never blocks customer handover.
• Manage strategic relationships with carriers, IXPs, colocation providers, and network hardware vendors.
• Establish metrics for delivery speed, quality, and predictability, and use them to drive continuous improvement.
• Communicate status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to executive leadership and customers.
