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.

  • Present network plans for approval by all internal stakeholders. Plan complexity will range from short-term metro augments to long-term region-wide strategies for Google network in Asia.
  • Project manage the approved network plan with internal contributors such as network negotiators or vendor delivery managers to ensure infrastructure is delivered on-time.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to define and improve business processes to enable automation, reduce lead time and manage changes.
  • Partner with network negotiators in planning and execution of orders and contracts, and in vendors meetings and industry conferences.
