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 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.
