About the job

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.

The Data Center Planning organization is responsible for identifying the most cost-efficient set of data centers to meet a 5-year forecast demand signal and for identifying and planning the Product Areas (PAs) who will occupy them. We drive alignment on what we should build, where, when, and who may occupy it through the Building Demand Plan (BDP) and Earmarks, an extensive set of optimization processes which provides demand justification and outlook for capital funding of data centers. This in turn provides signals to the downstream partner teams to identify new supply options and expansion of current facilities and assets. Within DCP, the Demand and Allocation Planning team is responsible for developing and maintaining our end-to-end power plan of record and continuously seeking to deliver further optimization through extensive scenario planning. We provide key upstream and downstream partners with chase signals, driving the acquisition of additional capacity, configuration of facilities to support the latest ML chips, and even where we may need to shape demand between geographies.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $138000 - $198000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefitsLearn more about benefits at Google.

Responsibilities

  • Offer clear, concise, and logical judgment and actionable recommendations to partners and executives in a timely manner regarding Google’s data center capacity needs.
  • Use data to identify planning solutions and provide advice to business leaders across the organization.
  • Codify, maintain, and update Google PAs’ technical and business requirements in partnership with Product Area Resource Managers (PARMs), and use them to influence execution and Google’s spend and capacity allocation decisions.
  • Implement new DC power planning initiatives, including automation with engineering support and cross-functional policy changes.
  • Work with the customer to manage and resolve all DC capacity related issues and escalations.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. See also Google's EEO Policy and EEO is the Law.
