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.

The Global Submarine Networks (GSN) team plans, builds and operates the subsea backbone network used by Google to provide our products and services. This international team collaborates with internal stakeholders and an array of suppliers to create construction agreements, oversee the delivery of each cable system, then operate and maintain that infrastructure for high reliability and security.

The Cable Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable system construction. This team blends skills from marine construction, fiber-optic networking, project management and contract negotiation to deliver this core infrastructure. In this role, you will own fiber-optic submarine cable construction projects. You will lead work between submarine cable vendors, partners, and internal teams through close collaboration with other Technical Program Managers, Strategic Negotiators, Network Deployment Engineers, Product Managers and Network Architects. You will use your understanding of the Google Network and your expertise in vendor management, marine survey, marine installation, manufacturing, permitting, optical transport, outside plant, and telecommunications industry best-practices to lead cross-functional teams in driving the genesis and completion of submarine cable projects.

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.

Responsibilities

  • Lead cross functional teams of internal and external stakeholders throughout project execution.
  • Review and validate engineering decisions for cable routes and protection, landing point selections, shore-end solutions and marine installation methods.
  • Collaborate with vendors on permit acquisition strategies. Monitor permit application processes and risks. Develop mitigations and assess schedule impacts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the readiness of cable landing stations, fronthaul, backhaul and beach infrastructure to support cable installation.
  • Manage vendor performance for contracted deliverables, quality, budget and schedule.
