Program Lead, Project Operations

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Program Lead is a key member of Hut 8's Project Operations team, serving as the operational backbone between department-level standards and the field teams responsible for executing them. This role is responsible for ensuring that Hut 8's growing portfolio of data center and energy infrastructure projects is properly resourced, coordinated, and administratively supported from initiation through delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own and manage Hut 8's Portfolio Readiness Program — a cross-functional initiative that oversees all active and upcoming projects, ensuring the organization has the right number of subject matter experts and field resources to meet current and future project demands
• Lead a distributed team of Project Administrative Leads across active project sites, conducting routine check-ins, implementing coordination standards, and ensuring each coordinator has the tools, resources, and guidance needed to perform their role effectively
• Build and maintain the communication infrastructure across the project portfolio —including Slack workspaces, project management platforms, email distribution structures, and other administrative tools that enable consistent, reliable information flow between field teams and leadership
• Support financial reporting to leadership, tracking expenditures across team assets, software platforms, personnel, and project development activities — identifying where the organization is over- or under-investing and surfacing actionable recommendations
• Develop and enforce project coordination standards across all active sites, ensuring that field-level operations remain consistent and aligned with Project Operations frameworks
• Serve as a primary coordination point between field teams and senior leadership, escalating risks and project-level issues and ensuring the right information reaches the right stakeholders at the right time
• Support the onboarding of new projects and initiatives, ensuring they are provisioned with the administrative infrastructure, personnel, and communication channels required from day one
• And other duties as assigned
