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. 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. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $132,000-$189,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

RESPONSIBILITIES: * Act as the primary point of contact for significant field issues, coordinating with on-site project managers and construction teams to gather initial data and assess impact. * Drive continuous improvement by leading Postmortem and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions, documenting corrective actions, and ensuring close-loop learning across teams are implemented to prevent recurrence. * Develop and standardize processes that reduce friction in the project lifecycle, supporting efficient global scaling. * Train and guide project teams on new products, best practices, and lessons learned to ensure successful execution. * Act as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor, providing ongoing support and clarification to project teams to help them navigate tests and successfully adopt new standards.
