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.

Google Data Centers (GDC) make up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures on the planet. The FeP MARCUS team provides the portfolio level management on technically complex retrofit programs.

The MARCUS portfolio delivers retrofit engineering programs in Google's data center fleet. The program has had year-on-year growth and this is forecast to continue.

As a Technical Program Manager (TPgM) you will be responsible to deliver complex retrofit programs. In general the programs have an electrical, mechanical and control system bias, but this is by no means exclusive. You will be a determined and flexible program manager who seeks challenges in a highly matrixed environment.

In this role, you will be responsible to work with partner teams on scope definition, develop execution plans, gain business and financial approval and, finally, work with execution teams for a successful delivery.

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.
