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.

We plan, buy, build, and deploy infrastructure (e.g., servers, storage,
networking, ML accelerators, and Cloud platforms) to deliver capacity at scale
for Google’s needs. The Equipment Supply Chain (ESC) team within CSCO is
responsible for the supply chain for data center capital equipment and the
spares to maintain the equipment.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for coordination of
early stage planning with the Data Center Design team on new data center
configurations and associated New Product Introduction (NPI). In addition, they
will be responsible to lead to feasibility of cut-in or acceleration decisions.
You will coordinate with the different functions in ESC (and outside of ESC) to
identify and partner to resolve constraints across the overall data center
equipment supply chain and accomplish this through the development and running
of programmatic tracking and resolution of various constraints and
considerations, while ensuring strong communication of tradeoffs and agreements.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its
business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage
Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more
sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google
Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical
business problems.
