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.

In this role, you will plan, buy, build, and deploy infrastructure (e.g. servers, storage, networking, ML accelerators, and Cloud platforms) to deliver capacity at scale for Google’s needs.

The Equipment Supply Chain (ESC) team within CSCO is responsible for the end-to-end supply chain for Data Center capital equipment and the spares to maintain the equipment. You will be the primary technical operations/supply chain interface to the product development and execution teams with the responsibility for driving design readiness and new product development. You will lead your programs through the product lifecycle, ensure execution enablement, and provide smooth transitions to downstream partner teams. You are well versed in the CM/ODM manufacturing environments, product design/development, and will lead a team of professionals to ensure products are designed and built to Google standards.
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.
