About The Position

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.

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep
the big picture in focus. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead
complex, multi-disciplinary projects. You plan requirements with internal
customers and usher projects through the entire project life-cycle. This
includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating
goals to project stakeholders. Your projects often span offices, time zones and
hemispheres, and it's your job to keep all the players coordinated on the
project's progress and deadlines.

As a Technical Program Manager on the Energy and Power product development team,
you will help lead our efforts in developing and scaling software solutions for
accelerating clean, affordable, and reliable AI growth. You will support the
development of Google’s load flexibility and demand response capabilities. You
will collaborate with internal engineering and commercial teams, as well as with
external partners and solutions providers. You will have experience in software
programs or product management in the energy industry.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the
Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our

can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.
