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.

As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will manage the outcomes for one large or multiple smaller data center sites. You will demonstrate knowledge of the management process of business operations across data center domains and ensure overall availability and reliability that meets or exceeds defined service level agreements (SLAs/SLOs).

You will guide the team in developing solutions to ambiguous issues while leading others in maintaining, operating, and troubleshooting mission-critical data center servers, network and associated equipment with multiple cross-functional partner teams and project leads to implement short-term and long-term strategy and process changes.
