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.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing and program managing the overarching strategy for the upgrade of Physical Security and Operational Technology (OT) security systems, ensuring alignment with security policies. This includes critical systems such as physical security systems, Building Management Systems (BMS), Power Management Systems (PMS), and associated workstations. You will also develop a long-term sustainability strategy for these upgrades to ensure system health, compliance, and lifecycle management. This role will program manage the entire upgrade initiative, focusing on driving cost efficiencies, maintaining the master schedule, and managing the overall program quality. While site-specific partner teams will be responsible for the hands-on upgrade execution, this role will provide programmatic leadership, unblock high-level challenges, and coordinate with all internal stakeholders and vendors to ensure strategic goals are met.

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.
