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.

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.

The GNA Americas team's mission is to secure network infrastructure for the Google Cloud and Production network. Our team includes subject matter experts that are comfortable designing network solutions that involve dark fiber, colocation space, and cable landing stations. We structure deals to acquire existing network or build new assets to meet the needs of the business. Technical Program Managers are responsible to interface with the internal teams and external vendors in order to deliver these complex solutions.
