About The Job

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.

As our products and services scale the globe, the Global Infrastructure and Energy (GIE) team works behind the scenes as a dynamic team within Google responsible for delivering the infrastructure capacity needed to support Google's rapidly growing product portfolio. The Supply Strategy and Portfolio Planning (SSP) team sits within GIE, and we manage a complex portfolio of infrastructure projects, ensuring that Google's services have the resources they need to operate seamlessly and reliably. SSP performs location strategy, regional planning and portfolio management to determine where, why, and how much infrastructure assets Google needs to seamlessly scale into the future.

We provide the programs, strategies and tool sets for our regional negotiation and execution teams to consistently make high-quality decisions at scale to meet the needs of Google’s business.
