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.

We are seeking an executive-level Technical Program Manager for Data Center Capacity Delivery to oversee hyperscale data center development programs from site selection through construction, commissioning, and operational handover.

In this role, you will lead multi-gigawatt, multi-billion-dollar infrastructure portfolios, drive dynamic delivery schedules, manage complex AI/ML technical insertions, and establish exceptional safety and operational standards across internal cross-functional teams and external contractor partners.

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 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

  • Direct the complete lifecycle of hyperscale data center builds, including entitlements, permitting, design, procurement, fast-track construction, commissioning, and operational handover.

  • Oversee multi-gigawatt capacity portfolios ($5B+ in contract value), maintaining full accountability for schedule, cost, quality, and risk management across active campuses.

  • Manage high-density compute capacity deployment, incorporating late-stage tech insertions for GPU and TPU infrastructure, high-density power systems, and advanced cooling technologies.

  • Align internal cross-functional partners alongside primary GC, EC, and MC contractors to ensure seamless capacity releases and program execution.

  • Establish site culture standards across large contractor workforces to maintain safety metrics and standardize regional delivery operating models.
