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.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.
We set the strategy, create the plan, and acquire the scalable infrastructure required to ensure people across the many countries in EMEA have the best and fastest experience possible. We build Submarine Cables, Terrestrial Dark Fiber Networks across continents, Metro Fiber Networks, POP, and related assets. We ensure the highest network reliability, with the goal of having an unconstrained network at the lowest possible cost. In this role, you will perform data-driven analysis to develop technical requirements and designs for network assets such as space, power, fiber, and leased wavelengths to meet forecast demand while complying with Network Architecture guidelines. You'll lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise.
Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.
Responsibilities
- Review and thoroughly understand Google's Network Architecture Standards.
- Communicate with internal business owners to collect drivers and deadlines for delivering network capacity.
- Collaborate with strategic mediators and designers to compile and present project feasibility studies, and to acquire the assets needed to deliver the network.
- Create high-level project plans that identify resource needs and critical path.
- Ensure we are able to deliver the necessary assets and capacity in a timely and cost effective manner.
