Director of Technical Program Management, Physical Deployment

About Nscale

Nscale builds and operates large-scale AI infrastructure, delivering GPU clusters for leading hyperscalers, AI labs and enterprises across North America, EMEA and APAC. The Deployment PMO turns signed contracts into live AI infrastructure, coordinating the many teams and partners involved in bringing large GPU clusters online.

About the role

As Director of Physical Deployment, you own every cluster from data center early access through to the point where every GPU rack is powered on, cabled and passing hardware acceptance testing. You will turn construction, power, cooling and supply chain realities into schedules the business can commit to, and hold partners to them.

Your scope begins when Nscale takes handover of the data hall and ends when the racks are ready for logical bring-up. It covers site readiness, rack receipt and placement, power and cooling activation, structured cabling, and vendor-led hardware testing. You will hand a clean, fully documented floor to the Logical Deployment team for network configuration, validation and customer handoff.

This is a field leadership role. Expect to spend 90% or more of your time travelling, leading from the data center floor.
