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.

As part of this team, you will plan, design, and acquire the scalable network infrastructure to deliver the fastest, most reliable experience to users across the region and around the globe. You will connect Google's fleet of data centers, Cloud customers, and users by planning and acquiring long-haul and metro terrestrial dark fiber networks, colocation space and power, and other critical assets.

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