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 plans, builds and operates the subsea backbone network used by Google to provide our products and services. We collaborate with internal stakeholders and an array of suppliers to create construction agreements, oversee the delivery of each cable system, operate and maintain that infrastructure for high reliability and security.

The Cable Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable system construction. This team blends skills from marine construction, fiber‑optic networking, project management and agreements to deliver this core infrastructure.

In this role, you will own fiber‑optic submarine cable construction projects. You will lead work between submarine cable vendors, partners, and internal teams through close collaboration with other Technical Program Managers, Strategic Negotiators, Network Deployment Engineers, Product Managers and Network Architects. You will use your understanding of the Google Network and your skills in vendor management, marine survey, marine installation, manufacturing, permitting, optical transport, outside plant, and telecommunications industry best‑practices to lead cross‑functional teams in driving the genesis and completion of submarine cable projects.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting‑edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future.

From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world‑leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross‑functional teams of internal and external stakeholders throughout project execution.
• Review and validate engineering decisions for cable routes and protection, landing point selections, shore‑end solutions and marine installation methods.
• Collaborate with vendors on permit acquisition strategies. Monitor permit application processes and risks. Develop mitigations and assess schedule impacts.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure the readiness of cable landing stations, fronthaul, backhaul and beach infrastructure to support cable installation.
• Manage vendor performance for contracted deliverables, quality, budget and schedule.
