Senior Product Manager – Core Portfolio and Power Commodity Planner
Dell TechnologiesOverview We are seeking a highly strategic and technically grounded Product Manager for supporting portfolio planning and roadmap development across next-generation rack-scale infrastructure. This role is responsible for defining and managing infrastructure investments spanning L11/12+ integrated systems and rack architectures, and emerging data center technologies including Modular Data Centers (MDC), liquid cooling ecosystems, ORV3-based rack designs, power and thermal innovations, and future infrastructure platforms. The ideal candidate combines deep understanding of datacenter infrastructure, hardware portfolio management, supply chain and platform planning, and cross-functional execution. They will serve as the connective tissue between engineering, architecture, datacenter, supply chain, finance, and business stakeholders to ensure infrastructure solutions are aligned with capacity growth, cost efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and AI workload demands. The successful candidate is a systems thinker who can connect technology evolution, business priorities, and operational realities into a coherent infrastructure portfolio strategy. They are equally comfortable discussing rack power distribution, liquid cooling adoption, ORV3 design considerations, portfolio economics, and long-range investment planning, while driving alignment across diverse stakeholders to enable the next generation of datacenter infrastructure. Key Responsibilities Portfolio Strategy and Roadmap Planning Own the end-to-end infrastructure portfolio strategy across L11, L12 integrated systems and rack-level solutions. Develop multi-year roadmaps that align infrastructure investments with datacenter growth, AI and cloud service requirements, and technology transitions. Define portfolio priorities and sequencing across compute, storage, networking, power, cooling, mechanical, and rack-scale integration domains. Establish business cases, investment frameworks, and decision criteria for future infrastructure platforms. Identify technology inflection points and drive introduction of next-generation rack and datacenter architectures. Rack-Scale Systems Planning Drive portfolio planning for rack-scale solutions, ensuring alignment between server, network, storage, power, and cooling roadmaps. Evaluate architectural tradeoffs across traditional air-cooled systems, direct liquid cooling, hybrid cooling solutions, and future thermal technologies. Lead planning efforts for ORV3 and future open-standard rack architectures, ensuring ecosystem readiness and deployment scalability. Define infrastructure requirements supporting AI training, inference, cloud, and enterprise workloads that drive systems based approach Develop transition strategies between platform generations while minimizing operational disruption. Emerging Infrastructure and Technology Incubation Assess and prioritize investments in emerging technologies including: o Modular Data Centers (MDC) o Direct-to-chip liquid cooling o Rear-door heat exchangers o High-density rack architectures o Advanced power delivery systems o Rack-scale disaggregation o Sustainability o Future Open Compute and industry-standard infrastructure ecosystems Partner with engineering and architecture teams to translate new technologies into deployable product roadmaps. Build long-term technology adoption strategies balancing innovation, operational risk, cost, and deployment readiness. Cross-Functional Portfolio Leadership Coordinate planning activities across hardware engineering, datacenter engineering, architecture, networking, supply chain, finance, sourcing, and operations teams. Drive executive reviews, roadmap alignment discussions, and investment decisions. Establish planning processes, governance mechanisms, and portfolio management frameworks. Balance competing priorities among performance, capacity, reliability, cost, sustainability, and deployment schedules. Influence stakeholders and leaders across organizations…
