We are seeking a Data Technical Program Manager (TPM) to oversee the design, implementation, and overall governance of an AI-Ready Data Platform and enterprise-wide data migration for a major telecommunications customer. This role demands a blend of program management expertise and deep technical knowledge of data architecture and engineering, cloud-native architectures, and data governance frameworks on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Responsibilities

• Program Governance & Execution: Lead the execution and delivery assurance of complex, multi-workstream data programs. Maintain the program schedule, manage risk/issue registers, and provide regular weekly Project Status Reports to steering committees.

• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary liaison between Google Professional Services, channel partners, and the customer's project manager and technical SMEs. Help manage customer-side dependencies, including landing zone readiness and secure data extraction.

• Technical Workshop Facilitation: Lead joint technical workshops to define Data Mesh topologies, data product taxonomies, metadata harvesting strategies, and semantic layer integration with enterprise catalogs (e.g., Knowledge Catalog, Datahub, Dataplex).

• Validation & Handover: Manage the validation and deployment of blueprint data pipelines (such as IPDR demand trend analysis) from raw ingestion via Apache NiFi to GCS and BigQuery to ensure the target-state environment is fully operational and enabled with BigQuery ML.

• Cross-Technology Alignment: Facilitate cross-technology alignment for remote delivery teams across adjacent domains, e.g., Infrastructure, Data, Security, etc.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of experience managing complex data transformation programs, with at least 3–5 years specifically dedicated to large-scale data migrations on GCP.

• Technical Domain Expertise: Strong working knowledge of cloud-native data architectures, data pipelines (batch/streaming), and cloud analytics services (e.g., BigQuery, Dataplex, Dataproc, Cloud Composer).

• Location Requirement: Ability to work on-site at the customer office in Manila, Philippines, on all weekdays as required by the project.

Preferred Qualifications

• Telco Industry Knowledge: Proven experience delivering data programs in the telecommunications sector, with exposure to high-volume telemetry datasets (e.g., IP Detail Records) and integration with ingestion open-source tools like Apache NiFi or Kafka.

• Advanced Data Paradigms: Strong conceptual and technical understanding of domain-driven Data Mesh architectures, Data Contracts, lakehouse storage formats (specifically Apache Iceberg), and federated computational governance.

• DevOps & Cloud Security: Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Terraform deployments and enterprise security frameworks, including VPC-SC, IAM policy-driven access models, and data masking tools.

• Education: Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
