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.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager thought leader in Global Network Operations, you will be a strategic leader driving cross-functional governance, process re-engineering, and complex program execution across the entire network risk life-cycle from planning and design to deployment and operations risks. You will partner closely with network engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), capacity planning, and network deployment to connect signals across the network and eliminate operational drag. You will act as the honest broker, leveraging customer empathy and deep technical knowledge to prioritize the most critical structural and operational risks in the network. You possess deep expertise in network problem domains combined with advanced networking or systems engineering acumen. You will create order out of ambiguity, translating highly technical network concerns into rigorous, scalable programs that protect business and enhance Google's engaged advantage at the edge of the cloud.

We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
