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.

The Data Center Planning (DCP) organization is responsible for identifying the

most cost-efficient set of data centers to meet a 5-year forecast demand signal

and for identifying and planning the Product Areas (PAs) who will occupy them.

We drive alignment on what we should build, where, when, and who may occupy it

through the Building Demand Plan (BDP) and Earmarks, an extensive set of

optimization processes which provides demand justification and outlook for

capital funding of data centers. This in turn provides signals to the downstream

partner teams to identify new supply options and expansion of current facilities

and assets.

Within DCP, the Demand and Allocation Planning team is responsible for

developing and maintaining our end-to-end power plan of record and continuously

seeking to deliver further optimization through extensive scenario planning. We

provide key upstream and downstream partners with chase signals, driving the

acquisition of additional capacity, configuration of facilities to support the

latest ML chips, and even where we may need to shape demand between geographies.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its

business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage

Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more

sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google

Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical

business problems.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $163000 - $236000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits

related issues and escalations.

end-to-end lifecycle.
