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 Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex,
multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to
plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate
clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will
often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the
players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.
As a highly motivated Program Manager, you have demonstrated experience with
data center design, development, construction and commissioning projects. You
will provide management of large-scale data centers, computer farms, networking,
AC and DC power distribution/conversion, and cooling methods at scale. You will
be tasked with coordinating the needs of multiple internal and external partner
teams, while managing changes and maintaining a focus on keeping the project
safe, on schedule, and budget.
You will have experience managing large-scale technical projects in a rapidly
changing industry, ability to thrive in ambiguity and demonstrated
problem-solving leadership with limited oversight. You should be able to
conceptualize and describe the delivery of a data center facility from start to
commissioning and understand the nuances and risks that you and your team will
need to manage.
Remote applications will be declined, as this position requires onsite execution
and leadership.
Able to work onsite 5 days a week.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
