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 a Data Center Infrastructure Delivery (DID) Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing major deployment programs while working with partner groups to create and achieve strategic business goals. Your objective will be to organize the overall team, establish clear roles and responsibilities, and global management of capacity deliverables, plan of records and schedules across the global network delivery organization to meet Google’s needs.
This role requires the individual to successfully bring together all the elements necessary to put a project plan together, manage objectives, and influence without authority, all while maintaining schedule velocity. Both project and technical leadership is woven into every facet of this role.
Successful individuals in this role have technical backgrounds with an engineering mindset, while being expert communicators and leaders. They are comfortable with ambiguity, yet strive to increase maturity in process and technology. They are evangelical about improving program efficiency and finding ways to scale the team of Program Managers (PMs) they work with.
