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 Technical Program Manager, you will provide leadership for data center projects that will include facility implementation planning, development and documentation of deployment standards, detailed data analysis, and corresponding recommendations. You will have subject‑matter expertise relevant to data center technologies and the technical judgment necessary to drive engineering decisions resulting in significant, positive business impact.

In this role, you will leverage your technical expertise in data center design and engineering to lead multi‑disciplinary projects from inception to completion. You will lead the collaboration with stakeholders across various teams and time zones to plan requirements, mitigate risks, manage project schedules, and ensure clear communication throughout the project life‑cycle.

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 keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

Lead the physical design of data center facilities, including the layout of server racks, power distribution units (PDUs), cooling systems, and detailed cable management/tray systems to maximize space and resource efficiency.

Develop and maintain precise 2D and 3D specifications and drawings using Computer‑Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for construction, documentation, and asset management.

Oversee projects from conception through delivery, taking ownership of scope, driving process improvements, and identifying and mitigating technical, logistical, and budgetary risks.

Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME), providing technical expertise and direction to project teams while ensuring seamless collaboration with Construction, Electrical, Network, and IT Operations across time zones.

Build and manage relationships with stakeholders at all levels, clearly communicating project status, risks, and recommendations to influence organizational decision‑making and ensure alignment with program goals.
