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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

The Data Center Operations (DCOps) organizations mission is to deploy, operate, and maintain a scalable and secure global Google Data center infrastructure safely, reliably, and efficiently, 24x7.

In this role, you will lead the operational readiness strategy for Google's newest data center technical infrastructure. You will act as the vital bridge between product development and field execution, ensuring all new releases are designed, built, and deployed with operability, safety, and scale in mind.

You will partner with data center infrastructure engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and experts globally to drive the execution of operations and maintenance strategies for all product deployments.

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.
