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.

As a Technical Program Manager for Data Center Permitting, you will be responsible for developing the permitting strategy, pre and post site acquisition to support data center development in new and existing jurisdictions. You will drive alignment with internal stakeholders as well as authorities having jurisdiction and other external stakeholders to programmatically minimize permitting risk and expedite permitting durations for data center construction project delivery. You will also be accountable for managing and tracking permitting delivery metrics across the region and providing guidance to the regional Data Center Delivery and Engineering teams.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $156,000-$229,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

  • Lead cross-functional initiatives partnering with both internal teams (e.g., legal, finance, and construction) and external stakeholders (e.g., authorities having jurisdiction) prior to site acquisition or seed intake to develop comprehensive permitting strategies and influence external stakeholders to accelerate project timelines.
  • Collaborate with site selection, engineering, environmental, and planning teams to identify permitting requirements based on Google Data Centers long range plan and proactively evaluate and develop risk mitigation plans to drive programmatic acceleration/expediting of permitting durations and regulatory requirements for data center projects.
  • Monitor permitting trends across regions and jurisdictions in order to influence Google Data Centers’ design, policies, and project delivery.
  • Deliver regular updates and reports on permitting progress to executive management.
  • Maintain current knowledge of changes to laws and regulations related to data center permitting.
