The End-to-End (E2E) TPM manages the schedule and implementation for specific data center projects involving departmental or cross-functional teams focused delivering new capacity. The TPM must have strong influencing skills and direct schedules while mitigating risks and blockers. To succeed, the TPM must organize the interdepartmental activities ensuring completion of the project on schedule.

Projects managed by the TPM begin with Delivery Build exiting the planning process and conclude with handover to our customers. The project encompasses all components of the build. This includes project planning, design, material ordering, networking, transportation, build, and handover. The TPM manages all of these workstreams through partners and stakeholders. Each of these must be tracked and escalated quickly when blockers are encountered.

While the TPM owns the overall project schedule, they do not perform the build activities. Most activities are performed through partner teams and/or vendors. The TPM must manage the delivery of these partners to their individual tasks in the project schedule. The TPM must understand each phase of the data center build, be able to identify risks, and mitigate them. This requires strong leadership through influence and quick escalation when impasses are encountered. The TPM must also have strong reporting and communication skills to provide leadership with clear, concise updates on their projects. They must also be able to evaluate and recommend options for mitigations.

The TPM must be able to manage a high degree of ambiguity and be able to lead a team through it. This means being able to breakdown novel, complex problems into appropriate pieces to enable systematic and repeatable solutions. This includes breaking down new technical blockers not previously encountered and resolving them. Problems often arise as new technologies present them and the TPM must continuously learn and adapt to new requirements.
