**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 Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

In this role, you will drive the efficient delivery of Google’s Data Center Portfolio by the organization of data, implementation of processes, and the use of professional tools. You will lead, collaborate and communicate to identify areas for improvement, development of plans, processes and execute changes. You will be managing project budgets and schedules, identifying risks, and communicating them to project stakeholders. In addition, you will also be supporting decision making analysis, using data to support recommendations that are in line with Google’s objectives. You will explain the team's analysis and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

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.
