Technical Program Manager III, Long Haul Planning, Cloud Networking

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 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.

• Present network plans and roadmaps for approval by all internal stakeholders that range from short-term augments to long-term region-wide strategies for Google network.
• Manage the execution of approved network plans by co-ordinating with internal contributors such as network negotiators or vendor delivery managers to ensure infrastructure is delivered on-time and within allocated budget.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience in technical program management.
