Program Manager, Compute Transformation

Quick Facts

• Role: Program Manager, Compute Transformation (hands-on, cross-functional)

• Focus: Integrated compute and infrastructure transformation across finance, operations, and data-center initiatives

Description

Lead cross-functional initiatives connecting purchasing, operations, billing, accounting, and financial planning for compute commitments and data center work. Own problem definition, process design, integrated planning, and end-to-end delivery through production adoption, turning ambiguous business needs into clear requirements and reliable processes. Build source-of-truth systems and govern data ingestion, billing/accrual/allocation workflows, and integrations that improve understanding, forecasting, reconciliation, and control of compute and infra spend.

Responsibilities

• Own an integrated compute and infra transformation plan (workstreams, milestones, dependencies, decision logs, acceptance criteria)

• Map current end-to-end workflows (demand planning through contracting, delivery/acceptance, receiving/operations, invoicing, payment, and month-end close)

• Define ownership, handoffs, evidence, and exception paths across operational and finance needs

• Enable source-of-truth systems for data center construction, operations, and maintenance

• Track contracts, tranches, delivery events, and capacity acceptance; connect committed spend to provisioned/accepted/allocated/used capacity

• Coordinate ingestion and normalization of provider usage, billing, invoices, and delivery data; define data owners and completeness checks

• Improve compute billing, accrual, and allocation using consistent pricing rules, SKU mappings, telemetry/organizational tags, reconciliations, and controlled manual adjustments

• Partner with application, AI, and data engineers to translate requirements into integrations and automation with monitoring and governed change controls

• Align stakeholders across Infrastructure, Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Legal, and Engineering; manage scope, risks, vendor dependencies, and change requests

• Lead end-to-end testing, UAT, rollout, training, and handoff; define success measures for traceability, data quality, manual effort, exceptions, close readiness, and adoption

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in project/program management, finance transformation, infrastructure operations, or enterprise systems delivery in complex, scaled environments

• Understanding of compute or infrastructure economics and related finance processes (commitments, usage-based billing, procurement, accruals, cost allocation, forecasting)

• Experience partnering with software/data engineers to define requirements, resolve tradeoffs, test solutions, and deliver production changes without direct authority

• Process mindset to connect contractual terms, operational events, financial data, and control requirements into a scalable future-state design

• Fluency in data dependencies, system integrations, reconciliation, and data quality; comfort working with SQL, Databricks, and BI platforms

• Experience using automation or AI to improve workflows with appropriate human review, controls, exception handling, and operational ownership

• Clear written and verbal communication, including executive updates on decisions, risks, business impact, and actions needed

• Ability to drive complex initiatives through ambiguity and organizational change with evidence of hands-on delivery and adoption

Benefits

• Hybrid work model: 3 days per week in the office (San Francisco, CA)
