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. 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.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. 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 work cross-functionally within the organization to ensure the delivery of ultra long-haul, subsea and metro fiber optic infrastructure systems to support the core IP traffic demands which globally interconnect data center, foundation, and peering facilities to serve Google users. You will manage multiple projects with a high degree of complexity and scope. You will work closely with Technical and Program/Product/Project Leadership to determine project priorities and resolve scheduling issues. You will have the ability to demonstrate independence, creativity, and initiative that permits your work to be accepted and trusted by upper management and cross-functional teams globally.
Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

- Manage optical transport infrastructure and capacity delivery for the EMEA region.
- Manage the delivery of network projects composed of metro/long-haul systems and fiber, leased wavelengths, circuit adds/moves/changes/disconnects, power, cross-connects, inside plant fiber, and more from inception through delivery.
- Lead cross-functional teams and manage multiple network projects with competing priorities, ensuring stakeholders are informed of project status.
- Engage with external vendors for network build services and facilitate review and acceptance of vendor handover documentation.
- Assist upstream planning, design, and acquisition teams in developing infrastructure requirements, priorities, and delivery date expectations.
