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.

The Data Center Planning 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.
