Technical Program Manager, Infrastructure Capacity and Deployment
Nvidia · Santa Clara · $168,000–$258,750 (stated in the posting)
NVIDIA’s IT infrastructure is scaling at an exceptional pace. We need a Senior Staff TPM to lead the full lifecycle of infrastructure demand — from intake and prioritization of incoming requests, through capacity forecasting and execution reporting, to Day 2 operational health. You’ll build the processes, drive the cross-functional coordination, and deliver the metrics that keep IT infrastructure ahead of the curve. The position would flex between Domains - DCs, Offices, CMs, WAN/Edge as the org needs evolve.
What you will be doing:
- Intake & Triage: Lead the structured intake process for all IT infrastructure requests — across domains (DCs, Offices, CMs, WAN/Edge) - assess, disposition, prioritize and track status and progress. You serve as the intake funnel for top business partners across our portfolio.
- Portfolio Roadmap Co-ownership: You co-own the portfolio roadmap and strategy translation with sub-portfolio leaders - ensuring explicit alignment with business goals, IT Strategy, and work being prioritized each planning cycle.
- Capacity Forecasting & Allocation: Maintain a rolling view of the infrastructure footprint and translate consumption patterns to 6/12/18 month projections while facilitating colocation through clear data-driven discussions with DC Operations.
- Business Cadence & Partner Management: Establish and lead a standard monthly/quarterly operating rhythm with business partners - prioritization forums, funding alignment, and capacity readouts - eliminating ad-hoc alignment.
- Day 2 Operations & Metrics: Build an execution insight layer, stay connected to operational health, incidents, and improvement projects across domains - ensuring intake and planning decisions account for operational realities and aren’t made in a vacuum.
- Process & Governance: Establish the cross-org operating cadence — intake forums, allocation reviews, while partnering with Finance running portfolio level spend reviews and contract renewal planning with BizOps.
What we need to see:
- BS/MS in CS, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ years in technical program management, infrastructure growth forecasting/demand management, or data-center operations.
- Solid understanding of physical/logical infrastructure — racks, compute, storage, networking, colo facilities.
- Experience building intake and demand management processes in a high-growth environment.
- Demonstrable ability to drive strategic programs with contending priorities and constrained resources.
- Strong executive communication — translating technical constraints into clear decisions for leadership.
- Proficiency with JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow, or equivalent.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Experience in 100%+ YoY infrastructure growth environments.
- Familiarity with multi-domain expertise across Infrastructure.
- Track record building operational dashboards and Day 2 metrics from scratch.
- Colo capacity management experience — rack/power/space planning, site expansion.
- IT demand management process experience.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
