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 Global Submarine Networks (GSN) team designs, builds and operates the subsea backbone network used by Google to provide our products and services. This international team collaborates with internal stakeholders and an array of suppliers to create construction agreements, oversee the delivery of each cable system, then operate and maintain that infrastructure for high reliability and security.
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.
Responsibilities
Transform complex datasets from subsea cable systems and landing stations into actionable insights by developing advanced analytics tools and interactive Looker dashboards that facilitate data-driven decision-making.
Manage and track project build progress, specifically focusing on critical path identification and the real-time monitoring of subsea infrastructure milestones to ensure on-time delivery.
Leverage data to identify potential bottlenecks, propose mitigation plans, and lead stakeholder alignment sessions to implement effective de-risking strategies across the project portfolio.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to gather business requirements and translate technical data into visual narratives and reports for executive management.
Establish and publish program metrics and success indicators to drive team consensus on performance gaps. Assess and implement global standardization across processes, materials, and tooling to streamline communications and ensure consistency in execution across programs.
