Technical Program Manager (Operational Readiness) (Data Centers)

As a Technical Program Manager (Operational Readiness) at Galaxy Digital, you serve as the operational readiness execution lead for each data center campus. You own the site-level workstream from early design coordination through final turnover, translating operational standards into site-level execution. Managing multiple sites concurrently across varying stages of development, you ensure operational requirements are embedded early and carried through to a clean, accountable handoff to the Technical Operations Manager.

What you'll do

• Represent Operations as the primary site-level stakeholder during design and pre-construction phases, ensuring operational requirements, maintainability, and Galaxy's operating standards are reflected in project deliverables
• Partner with Engineering, Operations Reliability, and Construction teams to identify and resolve design gaps that could impact operational performance or safety post-turnover
• Ensure the site as built aligns with Galaxy's intended operating model, surfacing discrepancies early and driving resolution through appropriate channels
• Maintain visibility into project schedules and proactively surface risks to operational readiness timelines to the VP of Operational Readiness
• Serve as Operations' site-level representative throughout the commissioning process, ensuring systems are commissioned in alignment with technical standards set by Engineering and Operations Reliability
• Coordinate between Commissioning agents, Engineering, Construction, and third-party data center operators to align on scope, sequencing, and acceptance criteria
• Validate that commissioning outcomes meet the technical and operational thresholds required for turnover
• Maintain commissioning records that support audit readiness and serve as reference documentation for the Technical Operations Manager post-handoff
• Work alongside the Technical Operations Manager and Technical Operations Engineer to assess and validate third-party data center operator readiness ahead of turnover milestones, including procedure readiness, staffing, training records, and site familiarization
• Ensure operators have the documentation, qualifications, and site-specific knowledge required to assume operational responsibility at RFS
• Own the punch list process through final item completion, ensuring all outstanding items are resolved and formally accepted before turnover is executed
• Execute a structured, documented handoff to the Technical Operations Manager upon turnover completion and disengage to focus on the next site in the portfolio
• Serve as the primary operations liaison across all project stakeholders, maintaining alignment and accountability across PMO, Construction, Engineering, EHS, Commissioning agents, third-party data center operators, and tenants
• Maintain a clear and current picture of each site's readiness status across all workstreams and communicate progress, risks, and decisions to the VP of Operational Readiness
• Partner with PMO to ensure operational milestones are integrated into the master project schedule and tracked to completion
• Drive the resolution of cross-functional dependencies that could impact readiness timelines or turnover quality
• Ensure EHS requirements are accounted for throughout commissioning and turnover activities in coordination with the EHS team
• Validate that site conditions, operator practices, and life-safety systems meet applicable standards prior to turnover
• Ensure regulatory and compliance documentation is complete, accurate, and transferable to the Technical Operations Manager at handoff
• Where applicable, engage with tenants and their representatives throughout the commissioning and turnover process to ensure alignment on timelines, access, and operational expectations
• Serve as the operational point of contact for tenant-facing questions and commitments during the pre-turnover phase, coordinating with the Technical Operations Manager on items that will carry forward post-handoff

What you bring

• 8+ years of experience in data center operations, commissioning, or critical facilities program management
• Demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional programs in mission-critical environments
