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.
The Supply Chain Planning (SCP) organization within Cloud Supply Chain is responsible for enabling and accelerating Google's data center infrastructure growth and delivery through AI-Powered Supply Chain Planning for all google product areas, drive planning decisions for new technology, and supply capability across data centers, networking, and machines.
Within SCP, the Network Planning team focuses on driving the forecasting, demand and supply planning, execution capability and feasibility management of data center networking infrastructure products.
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.
