About the job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.


Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

In this role, you will be responsible for cross-organizational programs, establishing influence, and optimizing processes to achieve significant business impact. You will be implementing an established program controls approach that is flexible, effective, efficient, and responsive to stakeholders as well as executive leadership reporting needs.

You will be a scheduled subject matter expert on data center construction in greenfield, brownfield, co-location, and retrofit facilities (e.g., schedule, risk, and change management). You will be working closely with the cross-functional team members, overseeing and implementing planning/scheduling and progressing methods/tools to establish integrated project schedule planning as we analyze new technology to deploy and build new data centers (DCs). You will lead efforts to improve operational efficiency, cycle times, reliability, predictability, and on-time delivery.

Responsibilities

• Drive the overall regional strategy and execution for project controls scheduling across the sub-region, campus-wide, and project levels, ensuring alignment with the Commercial and Program Controls Framework.
• Provide schedule oversight across all projects in the sub-region, meticulously managing schedule milestones and timelines in close collaboration with cross-functional partner teams.
• Serve as the primary interface and point of contact for project-level stakeholders regarding schedule controls, funding matters, and overall program health.
• Lead the critical alignment of schedules, acceleration timeline efforts, and capital expenditure funding timelines across current and expanding capacity delivery within the sub-region, directly supporting multi-development strategies and the execution of campus-wide projects across the program.
• Cultivate relationships with stakeholders, tailoring communications (e.g., through metrics, status reports, decision logs) to drive understanding and inform key decisions.
