Job description:
Spent a year or two on the owner side delivering data center construction projects, and ready to step it up to the next level? We are hiring for a Neocloud with a project pipeline exceeding $50 billion, building gigawatt-scale data center capacity. This role drives the planning, budgeting, and risk-management engine behind the company's data centers - partnering with Construction and Design teams to turn capacity targets into executable plans, with real accountability for outcomes. Why join Zero red-tape, zero beau acracy - maximum trust, maximum meritocracy. Own the planning, budget, and risk engine behind one of the biggest AI data center buildouts happening right now = multiple gigawatt-scale sites. Real ownership of the schedule and budget, not a reporting seat - you turn capacity targets into executable plans and drive them. Direct partnership with Construction and Design leadership, with your work visible from kick-off through handover. High-intensity team solving problems that haven't been solved at this scale before. Role scope Build, maintain, and drive integrated schedules (Primavera P6, MS Project) covering design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Own project budgets and cash-flow forecasts; govern the change-order process and report earned-value KPIs weekly. Facilitate phase-gate and 30/60/90% design reviews; maintain RACI matrices and action logs to keep stakeholders aligned. Manage the full contract lifecycle — RFP, bid analysis, award, PCO tracking, and close-out documentation. Partner with Construction and Design teams to translate capacity targets into executable, trackable project plans.
What we're looking for:
Owner-side experience on data center construction delivery at a hyperscaler — not GC/EPC-side project controls, actual owner-side delivery. Currently a Project Manager ready to step up into a senior seat with real accountability for schedule and budget outcomes, not just status tracking. Fluency with integrated scheduling tools (Primavera P6 or MS Project) and earned-value / budget reporting. Experience owning the full contract lifecycle: RFP through close-out. Comfort driving phase-gate and design reviews across cross-functional stakeholders Compensation
Base salary:
$200,000-$285,000, depending on experience and location. Significant pre-IPO equity.
