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.

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

• Lead EMEA Network Planning activities for asset/infrastructure planning to support area demand forecasts over time.
• Manage project planning through repeatable, transparent, and quarterly pipelines.
• Translate demand forecasts into regional capacity plans over time, taking into account market trends and technology changes to ensure the most optimized and cost-effective network solution, translating this to asset/infrastructure requirements.
• Own and deliver in-depth technical Risk Assessments based on various analyses to ensure the best technical solution is planned across the network.
• Collaborate with internal cross-functional technical teams to identify and define initiatives necessary to meet Google's network infrastructure needs for both expansion and cost optimization across EMEA.
