About the job

As the Global Technical Program Manager for the Cross Functional Program (CFP), Google Data Center Operations Tiered Meeting Structure, you will advocate and continually optimize this strategic initiative to drive consistency, efficiency, and economies of scale. You will own and restructure CFP to bring cross-functional partner teams, such as GSO running the server floor, Data Center Operations (DCOps) managing infrastructure, and EHS ensuring safety, together for highly productive site-level operational discussions. You will apply the proper program accuracy to transition localized, 5-minute check-in meetings into a structured operational framework that resolves cross-functional dependencies and accelerates Machine Learning (ML) deployments.

You will accomplish this by taking a step to establish the necessary foundational structure, developing a program charter, Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), RACI matrices, and process flow charts with swimlanes. You will also orchestrate the program strategy, define the tiered engagement model, and build the governance structure needed to ensure the program scales with exponential business growth.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
