## Description

We are currently seeking a Data Center Mechanical Technical Program Manager to oversee the design of Post Facility Ready mechanical system upgrades and retrofits. This will include building design teams from internal stakeholders and external partners/providers, facilitating the creation of a shared execution plan, and overseeing design services provided by an external design team in support of construction activities. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of mission critical design and construction, as well as new product development and insertion.

What you'll do

 * Proactively identify stakeholders and work with them to strategize, plan, and prioritize objectives and success criteria. Estimate task durations, and ensure schedules and dependencies are aligned and support those objectives within an organization.
 * Effectively monitor and communicate progress and risks. Propose mitigation plans, and align stakeholders on de-risking strategies.
 * Measure and publish program and process metrics to drive consensus in teams' understanding of issues and to drive decision-making.
 * Seek out and apply relevant best practices from other processes and technologies.
 * Organize ambiguous projects into clear longer-term (6+ months) objectives.
 * Build effective program teams within and across an organization. Understand and address their needs to support them throughout their life cycles.
 * Guide alignment on timelines, goals, and deliverables of related projects and teams.
 * Manage escalations and unblock obstacles.
 * Break down programs and processes into components that could be executed by less senior team members.
 * Independently design and deliver optimized program communication plans including executive and key partner communications.
 * Articulately represent the program across touchpoints.
 * Independently determine program phasing and metrics that effectively address continuous improvement including Resource Stewardship.
 * Optimize regular checkpoints and metrics dashboards.
 * Ensure stakeholders are aligned on rationale for program pivots.
 * Independently determine and collect data required to govern programs and effectively drive stakeholder decision-making.
 * Independently maintain project trackers and status reports.
 * Identify and execute program tasks, including proactively managing dependencies, while incorporating Product Excellence values, Product Inclusion, and brand trust and reputation.
 * Define program governance structure by determining effective management of mitigations, postmortems, and escalation reports.
 * Lead effective program stakeholder meetings.
 * Independently develop change management rollout plans for programs including impact analysis.
 * Across multiple teams, independently define, lead, and own program charter(s) that address scope, and timeline, OKRs, resourcing and risks/dependencies of moderately complex programs.
 * Translate ambiguous program goals into clear and measurable objectives/milestones.
 * Create project plans that break down a project into discrete phases aligned to the needs of stakeholders, include risks/dependencies, and support proactive identification of program constraints.
