About The Job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage various Engineering-specific programs and teams.

As the Leader of the Business Controls, Technology Optimization, and Platform Solutions team, you will drive the strategic evolution of Google’s global AI infrastructure within the Google Data Center organization.

By overseeing the entire systems lifecycle—from market research and solution vetting to long-term maintenance—you will ensure that data-driven decision-making is embedded at every level of the organization. A critical component of this role is high-level people leadership; you will manage and mentor a team of Technical Program Managers (TPgMs), fostering a culture of innovation while designing efficient organizational structures that scale alongside Google’s infrastructure demands.

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're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them.
