Technical Program Manager Lead, Data Center Design

About the Role

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.

Managing the FLINT-CAMP-Engineering team means owning the critical technical bridge between next-generation New Product Introductions (NPIs) and their actual physical landing on Alphabet’s server floor. Your core responsibilities span high-level strategic alignment, deep engineering oversight, and cross-functional leadership to enable fast, predictable, and optimized machine deployment at scale.

Responsibilities

• Implement communications standards across a portfolio of programs, including executive and key partner communications.
• Establish a reliable and visible cadence for program reviews, decision-making, prioritization, and resource stewardship (effective deployment of machine and people resources), ensuring improvements such as efficiency and utilization gains are measurable and impactful organization-wide.
• Lead a governance structure that drives effective executive decision-making and ensures dependencies are exposed and mitigated.
• Define and manage a program portfolio solving problems that target high business impact for the organization and product area.
• Align next-generation hardware roadmaps directly with Google's technical infrastructure and data center roadmaps.
