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.

Within Google Global Infrastructure (GGNI), GNS (Global Network Solutions) is the parent organization, D2D (Demand to Delivery) is a group within GNS, and FCD (Fiber and Capacity Delivery) is a specialized team operating under D2D.

GNS (Global Network Solutions): Focuses on long-term network planning, strategy, and global asset acquisition (e.g., terrestrial fiber, subsea cables, space, and power) to determine the "what" and "where" of the network. D2D (Demand to Delivery): Bridges the gap between demand and deployment by translating product area orders into verified, feasible, and cost-effective infrastructure plans and capacity designs. FCD (Fiber and Capacity Delivery): Manages the physical end-to-end delivery, testing, and documentation of Layer-1 fiber and leased capacity to declare infrastructure Network Asset Ready (NAR).

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
