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 the Global Technical Program Manager for the Cross Functional Program (CFP),

Google Data Center Operations Tiered Meeting Structure, you will advocate and

continually optimize this strategic initiative to drive consistency, efficiency,

and economies of scale. You will own and restructure CFP to bring

cross-functional partner teams, such as GSO running the server floor, Data

Center Operations (DCOps) managing infrastructure, and EHS ensuring safety,

together for highly productive site-level operational discussions. You will

apply the proper program accuracy to transition localized, 5-minute check-in

meetings into a structured operational framework that resolves cross-functional

dependencies and accelerates Machine Learning (ML) deployments.

You will accomplish this by taking a step to establish the necessary

foundational structure, developing a program charter, Business Requirements

Documents (BRDs), RACI matrices, and process flow charts with swimlanes. You

will also orchestrate the program strategy, define the tiered engagement model,

and build the governance structure needed to ensure the program scales with

exponential business growth.

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.
