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's Data Centers are the foundation of our global operations. We are seeking an experienced technical program manager to lead and drive strategic security initiatives across our data center fleet.

In this role, you will be able to influence and collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance our security posture, ensure compliance, and manage risk. You will be responsible for large-scale, complex programs that have a direct impact on the security, resilience, and efficiency of Google's data centers.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $192000 - $279000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google.

• Drive and own complex, large-scale data center security initiatives from inception to delivery, aligning with business objectives.

• Develop and implement scalable security processes, policies, and best practices to continually enhance operations and program execution.
• Establish credibility across organizations, reporting program status, risks, and key decisions directly to leadership.
