What You’ll Do:

The DC Program and Cost Management team is the operational planning team responsible for the program and cost management across the entire lifecycle of CoreWeave's data centers, ensuring strategic program objectives are translated into successful outcomes and the cost structure of building and managing data centers is optimized. 

About the role:

The Data Center Operations Program Manager is responsible for leading the end-to-end execution of mission-critical programs that ensure the scalability and reliability of our global infrastructure.

Proactive risk management is key, requiring the development of technical and logistical mitigation strategies to maintain operational efficiency and prevent project delays. Success in this position requires balancing hands-on execution with strategic portfolio-level coordination, partnering closely with DC Ops leadership to maintain alignment, visibility, and momentum.

  • A formal project management certification or equivalent experience in structured PMO environments.
