About the job

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.

As a Technical Program Manager within Global Infrastructure and Energy (GIE), you will partner with developers and internal cross-functional stakeholders to oversee the full lifecycle of large-scale data center projects, specifically focusing on planning, pre-construction, and contract management. In this role, you will align design engineering, procurement, and construction efforts to optimize capital expenditure and ensure rigorous cost and schedule governance.

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. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Lead the intake, planning, and pre-construction phases of large-scale data centers, partnering with developers to deliver critical capacity aligned with design intent and construction execution strategies.
• Drive rigorous cost and schedule governance across multi-billion dollar Capital Expenditure (CapEx) portfolios; oversee contract management strategies and transform funding models to ensure capital allocation aligns with verified planning and construction milestones.
• Advocate the use of parametric cost modeling and analytics to optimize real estate development and building design, using data to predict risks and standardize elements for capital efficiency and speed.
• Act as the strategic linchpin between developers, design engineering, procurement, and internal stakeholders, leading critical contract negotiations and pivoting contracting methodologies (e.g., GMP to Lump Sum) to secure best-value procurement.
