Technical Program Manager I, Data Center Networking, Cloud Network

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.

As a Data Center Network Delivery Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing major deployment programs for networks while working with partner groups to create and achieve strategic business goals. Your objective will be global management of capacity deliverables, plan of records and schedules across the global network delivery organization to meet Google’s needs.

In this role, you will 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.
