Job description
hackajob is collaborating with Oracle to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.
Description
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager (IC4) to lead high-impact network engineering programs that deliver data plane and control plane features and enable new site network designs. This role sits within the physical networking engineering organization and leads complex network engineering projects across Front-End and Management network layers.
The successful candidate will own multiple concurrent, business-critical programs from intake through delivery and closeout. They will bring strong technical fluency in OCI networking across Layers 1-3, exceptional program execution discipline, and the ability to independently align diverse engineering and operations teams around clear plans, risks, decisions, and outcomes.
Lead end-to-end execution of network engineering and automation programs across OCI data centers, including intake, planning, engineering coordination, implementation readiness, delivery, validation, and closeout.
Location: Nashville TN on-site role
Responsibilities
* Manage multiple high-stakes, interdependent programs simultaneously while maintaining clear priorities, schedules, ownership, and escalation paths.
* Develop and maintain program plans, workback schedules, milestones, dependencies, critical paths, and risk-mitigation strategies.
* Partner closely with network automation, network operations, data center infrastructure, and other stakeholder teams to drive timely execution.
* Create and maintain Jira epics, stories, components, priorities, links, and status fields; ensure work is structured for accurate execution tracking and reporting.
* Provide concise weekly executive summaries and program status updates, clearly communicating progress, key decisions, blockers, risks, and required actions.
* Drive issue resolution by proactively identifying gaps, coordinating accountable owners, escalating when needed, and following through to closure.
* Apply working knowledge of OCI networking across Layers 1-3, network modeling, and network automation to ask effective questions, assess technical dependencies, and translate engineering work into executable program plans.
* Improve operational mechanisms, documentation, reporting, and program management practices to increase predictability, visibility, and delivery velocity.
* Ensure program records, milestones, and stakeholder communications remain accurate, current, and audit-ready throughout the project lifecycle.
Qualifications
* 6+ years of experience in technical program management, infrastructure program management, network program management, or a closely related field. Degree preferred
* Demonstrated experience leading several complex, high-visibility technical programs concurrently in a fast-paced environment.
* Strong understanding of data center networking and the practical dependencies across Layer 1 (physical infrastructure), Layer 2 (switching and fabric), and Layer 3 (routing and network services).
* Experience managing programs involving network engineering, infrastructure deployment, device lifecycle, or large-scale data center operations.
* Proven ability to build plans, manage critical paths, identify risks early, and drive cross-functional accountability without direct authority.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to tailor concise status and risk communications for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
* Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable operating with ambiguity and incomplete information.
* Strong ownership mindset, sound judgment, and a bias for action.
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with OCI infrastructure, cloud networking, or hyperscale data center environments.
* Experience with network engineering, network design, data plane, and control plane logic.
* Strong Jira experience, including creating and maintaining epics, stories, workflows, dashboards, and program reporting.
* Familiarity with engineering intake processes, cutsheets, bills of materials, validation, and operational-readiness activities.
* Experience using program-management mechanisms such as milestone reviews, executive business reviews, root-cause analysis, and post-project retrospectives.
What You Will Bring
You are a technical, highly accountable program manager who can turn complex network engineering requests into clear, executable plans. You anticipate dependencies before they become blockers, maintain calm and clarity in high-pressure situations, and earn trust across engineering, automation, and operations teams through rigorous follow-through. You are equally comfortable discussing physical network infrastructure, tracking detailed delivery plans, and presenting an executive-ready view of program health.
