About The Position

Google’s Technical Program Managers lead complex, multidisciplinary engineering projects, using engineering expertise to plan requirements with internal customers and guide projects through their lifecycle. This includes managing schedules, identifying risks, and communicating clearly with stakeholders, executives, and engineers about analyses, recommendations, and technical trade-offs. In this role, you will serve as the Strategic Lead for the Configuration, Lifecycle, Engineering and Asset Reliability team within Data Center Operations. You will lead a multidisciplinary team of Technical Program Managers and Reliability Engineers in the Operations Engineering pillar, owning global strategy and execution across Asset Management Reliability Engineering and Operational Sustainability and OT Configuration Management. You will manage a growing team that includes a Staff TPM for condition-based maintenance, an Equipment Reliability Engineer focused on life data analysis, and Fleet Health/CLEAR TPMs. You will serve as the primary operational bridge between upstream engineering groups and downstream execution partners, and guide special projects to mitigate current and future operational risks. The role aims to reduce end-to-end lifecycle impact and operational demands on local site operations teams while supporting global scale. Google’s Technical Infrastructure team develops and maintains data centers and platforms that support Google’s products and services.
