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 Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

As the Business Operations and Strategy (Biz Ops) Lead for Data Center Networks (DCNET), you will architect the strategy behind Google’s global network expansion. You will be responsible for scaling our delivery engine to meet the massive demands of the AI era by standardizing the capacity lifecycle. By serving as the strategic bridge between planning and implementation, you will eliminate operational friction and accelerate our ability to build the infrastructure of the future.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
