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.

The DC-NICon team's mission is to collaboratively improve network infrastructure design requirements, construction documents, schedules, and execution outcomes while reducing design and construction costs for Google's data centers.

In this role, you will lead large-scale transformations within the Data Center Network Infrastructure Construction (DC-NICon) organization. You will focus on accelerating cluster capacity delivery through a strategic "burst labor" model, involving the rapid mobilization of resources to meet highly accelerated deployment objectives.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end execution of complex, cross-cutting programs that enable the rapid scaling of Google's Machine Learning and compute capacity. You will lead the development and implementation of the burst labor strategy, leveraging a flexible workforce that can scale up to 24/7 operations to match project velocity. Your role will involve solving challenging construction and deployment problems while establishing trust among a set of global stakeholders.

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.

• Lead the planning and implementation of the burst labor program, setting clear goals to achieve highly accelerated physical infrastructure deployment goals.
  
• Collaborate with technical program managers to develop relationships with external contractors and internal partners, maximizing fit-out velocity.
  
• Manage resource-loaded schedules for ML sites, proactively resolving execution risks (e.g., trade-stacking, parts shortages) to avoid idle time and adhere to Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
  
• Drive reporting automation and process refinements to improve speed and quality, eliminating manual intervention where possible.
  
• Serve as the owner of program status, providing visibility on progress, risks, and ROI to cross-functional partners and leadership.
