At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.
We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.
Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
About the role
You will own the program that turns a new site or expansion from empty space into live, operational capacity. You will coordinate every team involved and streamline the whole path, from fit-out, through hardware deployment, to a clean handover to operations, so each site comes online faster and more predictably than the last.
What You’ll Do
Build and own the master schedule and critical path across every parallel workstream: site fit-out, electrical and thermal build, structured cabling and fiber plant, hardware deployment (rack-and-stack, InfiniBand and Ethernet fabric, liquid-cooled Blackwell and Rubin systems), commissioning, and operational handover
Coordinate the full cast turning a plan into capacity: Architecture, Electrical, Thermal, Structural, Hardware, Networking, Operations, and Procurement, along with external contractors and OEM partners (including Supermicro)
Keep dependencies visible, hand-offs clean, and decisions moving so no workstream waits on another longer than it has to
Manage risk, budget tracking, and reporting across the program: RAID logs, stage-gates, and the escalations that keep a slip from becoming a stall, always driving toward time-to-live
Run the handover to operations: acceptance criteria, punch lists, and documentation, so the Operations team inherits a site that is genuinely ready to run, not one still being finished around them
Turn each build into a repeatable playbook, so the sequencing, dependencies, and hand-offs you get right once become the default for every expansion that follows
Representative projects: drive a new-market site from lease and fit-out to first racks online and handed over to operations, on schedule; build the master program plan that sequences fit-out, deployment, commissioning, and handover across every team; stand up the expansion playbook so the next site launches faster than the last; own the operational handover so operations inherits a site that is truly ready
What We’re Looking For
Proven technical program management of complex, multi-team infrastructure builds in data center, construction, telecom, or large-scale IT deployment
Ability to build and own a real critical-path schedule across many parallel workstreams, and hold every team to it
Fluency coordinating across engineering, construction and fit-out, hardware deployment, networking, and operations teams
Understanding of the data center build lifecycle (fit-out, power and cooling commissioning, structured cabling, GPU/HPC hardware deployment, and operational handover), enough to be credible, with the specialist engineering owned by the respective teams
Strong risk, dependency, and stakeholder management: RAID logs, stage-gates, and clear escalation
Experience running vendor and contractor relationships against schedule and scope
Track record standardizing a repeatable delivery process across multiple projects or sites
Bias toward speed and ownership, comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and driving them to a deployed result
Practicalities
Work mode: Hybrid, office (Helsinki, Finland or London, UK) or remote
Travel: Significant travel to sites during fit-out and deployment phases
Employment type: Full-time and permanent
