Technical Leader, Google Cloud Capacity

About the role

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.

• Lead the technical translation of customer business forecasts into specific infrastructure requirements across cores, storage, and networking.
• Identify and lead mitigation strategies for technical risks that threaten delivery timelines or business stability.
• Advocate a culture of accountability and technical reasoning across engineering squads.
• Advocate a culture of transparency, accountability, and technical excellence across the entire organization.
• As the primary technical bridge between capacity infrastructure, engineering teams, and strategic partners to resolve complex dependencies and resource constraints.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience in program management.
• Experience with planning processes, systems, and tools (e.g., demand and supply planning, capacity planning, constraint-based planning, change management).
• Experience in one or more planning leadership roles in server, power, data center, networking or networking planning, or machine delivery.

Preferred qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Planning, Operations Research, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
