We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you'll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you'll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future. About the Role As a Senior Project Manager, you'll be the execution backbone of Nscale's Strategic Project Management function. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Project Management, you'll own day-to-day schedule tracking, action log management, executive briefing support, program status reporting, and our internal KPI tracking system across Nscale's active datacenter and manufacturing programs. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who thrives on structure, follow-through, and keeping complex, fast-moving programs on track. You will: • Own integrated schedule tracking, action logs, and task management across all active programs, so no program drops or milestones slip. - Prepare the briefing materials, pre-reads, and agendas that make every executive forum well-prepared, action-oriented, and documented. - Maintain the KPI tracking system that gives leadership a real-time, data-backed view of how our internal support functions are performing. - Surface risks and blockers early, and close the loop on every commitment. Experience required: 6+ years in project management, PMO operations, or program coordination within infrastructure or hardware-intensive environments. What You'll be Doing • Maintain Linear/Procore as the authoritative source of task status across all active programs, keeping tasks assigned, sequenced, prioritized, and closed on cadence. - Flag schedule risks, dependency conflicts, and delivery gaps in advance, never after the fact. - Own the action log: assign owners, set due dates, track follow-through, and escalate overdue items with context and recommended next steps. - Run weekly working-level program status meetings and produce concise, structured status reports that give leadership a clear view of program health. - Track progress across VP-level strategic initiatives, surfacing blockers early so leadership has what it needs to escalate or intervene. - Ensure organizational follow-through on commitments made in executive forums, owning the loop from commitment to confirmed completion. - Prepare executive briefing materials, pre-reads, and agendas in support of the Director and VP, ensuring every forum is well-prepared and action-oriented. - Maintain the internal KPI tracking system, logging response times, SLA adherence, and cycle times across Legal, Procurement, Recruitment, and other support functions (e.g., time-to-legal-review, time-to-PO-issuance, time-to-hire). - Produce the internal performance report on cadence, flagging anomalies, deteriorating trends, and emerging bottlenecks with supporting data. - Own data collection and accuracy for the internal feedback loop, ensuring inputs are consistent, timely, and ready for escalation to senior leadership. - Coordinate with Legal and Procurement on outstanding action items surfaced through KPI tracking, following up on overdue reviews, approvals, and commitments.
