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.

The GSN team ensures legal and regulatory compliance for all jurisdictions in which we operate. We explore and promote technical innovations in areas of cable route engineering, marine survey, and network operations. We engage with external stakeholders on matters of seabed sharing and stewardship of the marine environment.

The Subsea Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable system construction. This highly experienced team blends skills from marine construction, fiber-optic networking, project management and agreement negotiation to deliver this core infrastructure. The Build team has a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with Engineering teams and customers to align product offerings with their specific requirements.
• Combine technical knowledge and sales knowledge, skills, and abilities to help promote network infrastructure products or services.
• Conduct in-depth discussions with potential clients to identify their specific business challenges, pain points, and desired outcomes to tailor solutions accordingly.
• Manage the network business pipeline and program, reporting, and maintaining cross-functional demands and communications with internal stakeholders (Finance, Entities, TI Accounting, Cloud Accounting, Cloud Sales, Cloud Product) to ensure business goals are met.
• Design and implement effective positioning strategy and pricing algorithms to optimize/drive business and margin for Cloud.
• Manage product specifications, quotations, and customer requirements.
