About the job
A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.
As a Data Center Infrastructure Delivery (DID) Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing major deployment programs while working with partner groups to create and achieve strategic business goals. Your objective will be to organize the overall team, establish clear roles and responsibilities, and global management of capacity deliverables, plan of records and schedules across the global network delivery organization to meet Google’s needs.
This role requires the individual to successfully bring together all the elements necessary to put a project plan together, manage objectives, and influence without authority, all while maintaining schedule velocity. Both project and technical leadership is woven into every facet of this role.
Successful individuals in this role have technical backgrounds with an engineering mindset, while being expert communicators and leaders. They are comfortable with ambiguity, yet strive to increase maturity in process and technology. They are evangelical about improving program efficiency and finding ways to scale the team of Program Managers (PMs) they work with.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $116000 - $165000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
