Job Summary

The Associate Technical Program Manager – AI Infrastructure supports the coordination, planning, and day-to-day operational management of enterprise AI factory and private cloud infrastructure programs within HPE's Professional Services delivery environment. This role operates directly under a senior Program Director and serves as the connective tissue across multi-team, multi-supplier program coordination — ensuring priorities are tracked, blockers are surfaced and communicated, governance meetings are organized, and the director's capacity is focused where it matters most.

The role does not require hands-on technical implementation. It requires enough technical literacy to participate meaningfully in engineering discussions — following the nature of progress and blockers raised by GPU infrastructure, HPC, and container platform teams — and to translate that context into clear, organized communication for the director and broader stakeholder group.

Key Responsibilities

Program Coordination & Execution Support

• Support the Program Director in monitoring delivery progress across AI infrastructure, GPU platform, HPC, and container platform workstreams.
• Maintain and update program plans, milestone trackers, risk logs, and action item registers across all active workstreams.
• Ensure the director has a timely, accurate, and consolidated view of program health across all workstreams and supplier tracks.

2. Meeting Management & Communication

• Own scheduling, agenda preparation, pre-read distribution, and minutes/action item capture for all program governance meetings, team standups, and supplier touchpoints.
• Track and follow up on open action items across engineering teams and suppliers on the director's behalf.
• Step in as the director's proxy in routine coordination and status meetings when the director is unavailable — escalating decisions rather than making them.

3. Technical Context & Blocker Awareness

• Participate in engineering standups, technical reviews, and supplier calls.
• Build sufficient familiarity with AI factory architecture, GPU cluster operations, HPC workload management, and container platforms to accurately capture technical status and blockers.
• Relay technical context to the director clearly and without distortion; flag issues proactively without needing to resolve them.

4. Priority Tracking & Reporting

• Maintain a live consolidated view of program priorities and outstanding decisions; surface these to the director on a defined cadence.
• Prepare concise status summaries, escalation briefs, and decision-ready materials that allow the director to act quickly and confidently.
• Track supplier commitments and engineering team deliverables against agreed timelines; highlight variances before they become escalations.

5. Documentation & Program Administration

• Maintain all program documentation in a structured, current, and accessible state — including program plans, decision logs, RAID logs, and supplier trackers.
• Ensure program artifacts are consistently formatted and ready for director review or stakeholder distribution at short notice.
• Support onboarding of new team members or suppliers by providing organized program context documentation.

6. Professional Development & Program Learning

• Actively build familiarity with HPE's AI infrastructure portfolio, GreenLake delivery model, and professional services delivery practices.
• Pursue project management certification (PMI-CAPM, PMP, CSM, or equivalent) ideally within the first year in role.
• Contribute observations and improvement suggestions to the director to continuously refine program coordination practices.

Other Requirements

• Recent engineering graduate who gravitated toward coordination, leadership, and communication throughout their academic career rather than deep technical specialization
• Has led structured teams — student government, technical or engineering clubs, hackathon organizing, sports captaincy, community programs — and knows how to keep people aligned and moving toward a shared goal
• Technically curious and comfortable in rooms with senior engineers; asks good questions, captures accurately, and knows when to listen
• Exceptionally organized — treats structure, documentation, and follow-through as professional instincts, not imposed constraints
• Poised and professional with senior stakeholders; capable of representing the director's position clearly in a meeting without overstepping on decisions
• High growth trajectory — this role is designed for someone who intends to grow into a full Technical Program Manager or Program Director role over a 2–4 year horizon
