Deployment TPM

About the role

Ornn builds the financial infrastructure for AI compute, trading compute hedging instruments and building a platform for reserving and allocating compute capacity. Most of its capacity is build-to-order, so delays between customer orders and working clusters trigger steep delay penalties. The Deployment TPM owns the deployment track end to end, from purchase order to nodes in service, and keeps the schedule visible early enough to act.

Key responsibilities

• Own the schedule for every build-to-order deployment, from purchase order to nodes in service.
• Run a standing cadence with suppliers: demand forecasting with the OEM, an All Parts In date, weekly component checks, a firm ship date, then build, validation and shipment.
• Track the components that actually move dates.
• Track facility readiness in parallel: power, cooling, site works and construction.
• Escalate early, surfacing a slip while there is still room to act, with the delay penalty exposure attached.
• Hand off cleanly to fleet operations when capacity goes live and report the actual in-service date, since invoicing and revenue recognition run off it.
• Build the process and the tooling as you go; there is currently a tracker and little else.

Required profile

• 2+ years in technical program management, project management, deployment or supply chain, in hardware, data centers or infrastructure.
• Experience holding external vendors to a schedule and escalating before a date is missed.
• Comfortable with technical detail, such as knowing what a missing NIC does to a ship date.
• Ability to write short, clear status updates readable in ten seconds.

Nice-to-haves

• Data center build or GPU cluster deployment experience.
• Familiarity with OEM and ODM lead times and component allocation.
• Exposure to liquidated damages, service levels or delivery terms in commercial contracts.
• Time at a neocloud, data center operator, systems integrator or hardware manufacturer.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
• Health coverage, free meals and additional benefits.
