About the job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.

You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

As a Technical Program Manager for Specialized Infrastructure Security Systems, you will be responsible for the design, standardization, and implementation of physical security systems across Google's specialized, modular, and distributed technical infrastructure footprint. Operating within the ASSET (Automation, Systems, Standards, Engineering and Technology) organization, this role requires strong technical program management experience combined with deep domain expertise in mission-critical physical security engineering, systems integration, and rapid-deployment architectures.

You will lead end-to-end physical security design reviews, standardize modular security packages, and manage testing and commissioning across facility archetypes, including leased, co-location, lab, and modular environments. You will collaborate closely with internal infrastructure partners, hardware engineering teams, network specialists, security operations, and external systems integrators to ensure that physical security deployments align with global security policies, meet rigorous industry compliance standards, and scale efficiently to support rapid infrastructure growth.

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