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.
Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone.
As a Field Reliability Technical Program Manager, you will work closely with data center design and engineering experts to align our cross-functional reliability methodology, and supplier quality managers to establish manufacturing process control plans to ensure that the highest level of quality and reliability is consistently delivered. You will collaborate with global commodity managers to connect field performance measurement back to manufacturers that can relate to their field performance systems, Data Center Operations teams to provide scalable data collection requirements and Business Information Technology and Solutions teams to incorporate use cases into BRD's for project life cycle management, project management tracking and enterprise resource planning systems.
