About the Role

We're looking for a Sr. Project Manager to serve as the execution backbone of our project management function, owning day-to-day schedule tracking, cost performance reporting, and program status reporting across Nscale's active datacenter and manufacturing programs.

- You're comfortable owning integrated schedules, action logs, and task management across multiple concurrent programs.
- You have strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to write clear status reports, briefings, and escalation summaries.
- You're comfortable working with KPI and SLA data to identify trends and surface insights.
- You're a self-starter, curious, and quick to learn, knowing what questions to ask to get up to speed quickly.
- You're extremely organized and diligent, with no tolerance for dropped tasks or missed follow-through.

What You'll be Doing

- Own the action log: assign owners, set due dates, track follow-through, and escalate overdue items with context and recommended next steps.
- Flag schedule risks, dependency conflicts, and delivery gaps in advance — never after the fact.
- Run weekly program status meetings and produce concise, structured status reports on program health.
- Track program progress across strategic initiatives, surfacing blockers early.
- Maintain Linear/Procore as the authoritative source for task status across all active programs — keeping tasks assigned, sequenced, prioritized, and closed on cadence.
- Own the program change control log, capturing every scope, cost, or schedule change with documented impact assessment and approval status.
- Produce burn rate analysis and estimate-to-complete reports on a regular cadence, flagging cost trends and variances before they become material.
- Maintain the cost performance reporting layer for all active programs, tracking actuals against approved budgets.
- Coordinate on weekly integrated cost-schedule reconciliation, ensuring schedule changes are reflected in cost impact assessments.
- Support cost data for QBR packages and board-level reporting.
- Prepare executive briefing materials, pre-reads, and agendas, ensuring every forum is well-prepared and action-oriented.
- Maintain an internal KPI tracking system across support functions (e.g., Legal, Procurement, Recruitment), logging response times, SLA adherence, and cycle times.
- Produce internal performance reports on cadence, flagging anomalies and emerging bottlenecks with supporting data.

About You

- 6+ years in project management, PMO operations, or program coordination within infrastructure or hardware-intensive environments.
- Hands-on experience with project and task management tooling — Linear/Procore, Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent.
- Excellent organizational skills — able to manage multiple concurrent programs with no slippage.
- Strong documentation and communication skills — able to write clear status reports, briefings, and escalation summaries.
- Experience supporting executive communications and briefing preparation in a fast-paced environment.
- Comfortable working with KPI data and SLA metrics, able to identify trends and surface insights from operational data.
- Experience with cost performance reporting, burn rate analysis, and change control log management within capital programs or PMO environments; familiarity with earned value concepts a plus.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Operations, or related field.

Nice to Have

- PMP or equivalent certification.

Why this role matters

This role frees up senior leadership to focus on governance and stakeholder management rather than day-to-day execution and tracking. Without a dedicated owner, program tracking, cost reporting, and executive briefing prep fall to leaders who need to be focused elsewhere — creating risk of dropped tasks, missed milestones, and informally absorbed scope or cost changes. This is a highly visible role with direct line of sight into how Nscale's most strategic infrastructure programs are run.
