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.
The Global Network Solutions (GNS) mission is to create the network that society can depend on.
The Global Network Solutions team plans, acquires, and delivers the network infrastructure assets that connect Google's Data Centers to our users and Cloud customers throughout the world. Google's hyper-scale global network enables the reliable transfer of data across metros, countries, continents, and oceans.
Nestled within Global Network Solutions, the Fiber Asset and Delivery team oversees the delivery lifecycle of fiber assets acquired from carrier infrastructure providers, ensuring all the elements are stitched together to deliver Google's products and services.
The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
Responsibilities
- Assist upstream planning and acquisition teams in developing infrastructure requirements, priorities, and delivery date expectations.
- Manage the delivery of large scale network infrastructure projects involving long-haul dark fiber, metro fiber, leased capacity/circuits, and inside plant fiber from inception through delivery. Ensure facilities are delivered on schedule and meet technical specifications.
- Serve as primary North America and/or South America vendor contact for these activities. Escalate up vendor management chains as necessary if delivery time lines are at risk. Lead kickoff and regular project status meetings while keeping downstream teams at Google aware of project and delivery status.
- Oversee the program to handle all vendor handover documentation, i.e., LOA/CFA (Letter Of Authority/Customer Facility Assignment), DLR (Design Layout Record).
