Acting as a strategic bridge across Network Operations, Supply Chain, Data Center Provisioning, Data Center Infrastructure, Finance, and Legal, you won’t just track deliverables; you’ll drive complex, large-scale deployment plans to completion. You will join our high-impact Program Management Infrastructure team, reporting to the Senior Manager, and have a direct, tangible influence on the growth and success of Fastly’s global infrastructure.

What You'll Do:

• Drive the end-to-end development and execution of build and deployment plans.

• Orchestrate cross-functional collaboration between Infrastructure Acquisition Managers, Network Operations, Supply Chain, Data Center Engineering, Finance, Legal, and other partners, ensuring clear accountability and successful delivery.

• Establish and maintain reporting frameworks to provide transparent visibility on deployment timelines, risks, and project health to stakeholders across the organization.

• Proactively identify critical path bottlenecks, risks, and blockers, escalating issues with data-driven mitigation strategies.

• Analyze project workflows to identify and implement opportunities for standardizing and automating processes, ensuring faster and more reliable infrastructure delivery.

• Manage vendor and partner relationships to ensure the timely procurement and delivery of critical hardware and services.

• Collaborate as a core member of a high-impact team dedicated to building and scaling the world’s most performant edge computing network.

What We're Looking For:

• Proven track record of at least 5-7+ years driving large-scale infrastructure programs within cloud services, CDN, OTT, data center, or telecommunications environments.

• Technical fluency in data center and network infrastructure architecture, including power specifications, hardware deployment, and physical layer components.

• Experience working in a Production Engineering environment with a focus on Network Engineering, Acquisition, or Delivery.

• Proficiency in advanced project management tools (Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet) and data visualization to track milestones and capacity.

• Experience in process analysis and improvement to drive operational efficiency and standardization.

• Experience with global capacity planning, supply chain logistics, and managing hardware deployment lifecycles.

• Strong stakeholder management, ability to navigate ambiguity, and the leadership to drive consensus across diverse engineering teams.

• Experience in incident management or post-mortem analysis to improve long-term system reliability.

• Ability to translate complex technical requirements into actionable project roadmaps for non-technical stakeholders.

We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these:
