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 projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management and delivery of Outside Plant (OSP), Inside Plant (ISP) fiber optic projects, and associated network capacity. You will facilitate and manage the post-sale delivery of new services from third-party suppliers and vendors, covering the full spectrum of physical network infrastructure from external pathways to in-building facilities. This includes overseeing OSP and ISP design, construction, testing, and acceptance, ensuring projects meet technical specifications and timelines. You will also test and remediate network fiber assets across long haul and metro routes, and work cross-functionally to accept leased capacity. You will work closely with the negotiation team to understand contract terms and communicate progress to internal teams to ensure goals are met.

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