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, you will be responsible for Google's fiber optic network infrastructure.

This role is to help drive key outcomes inside of an operations team that supports both IP and Optical Infrastructure. As the network grows and evolves at unprecedented scale the overall alignment of projects are key. This role is a strategic part of the team partnering with managers and teams across the globe to drive process improvements and automation to ensure the team meets customer and business expectations.

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.
