Senior Technical Program Manager, Data Center Regional Portfolio Planner

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 part of the Supply Strategy and Portfolio Planning team, you will manage a portfolio of infrastructure projects, ensuring that Google's services have the resources they need to operate seamlessly and reliably. You will be a part of location strategy, regional planning, and portfolio management to determine where, why, and how much infrastructure assets Google needs to seamlessly expand into the future. You will provide the programs, strategies, and tool sets for our regional negotiation and execution teams to consistently make decisions with less risk to meet the needs of Google’s business.
