Sr. Project Manager

Nscale is a GPU cloud engineered for AI, providing high-performance infrastructure for AI-focused companies. The Sr. Project Manager will own day-to-day scheduling, cost performance reporting, and program status reporting across active datacenter and manufacturing programs.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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
• PMP or equivalent certification
