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’ll be equally comfortable explaining your team’s analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing technical trade‑offs with engineers.
In this role you will provide leadership for data center projects that include facility implementation planning, development and documentation of deployment standards, detailed data analysis, and corresponding recommendations. You will have subject‑matter expertise relevant to data center technologies and the technical judgment necessary to drive engineering decisions that have a significant, positive business impact.
Backed by the Technical Infrastructure team, you will lead multi‑disciplinary projects from inception to completion, collaborating with stakeholders across teams and time zones to plan requirements, mitigate risks, manage schedules, and ensure clear communication throughout the project life‑cycle.

From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible.
