Technical Program Manager I, Capacity Planning, Google Cloud

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.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is rapidly growing its global footprint and product offerings, while changing the way the world uses computing. Capacity at the right place, at the right time, in the right form is a prerequisite to meet customer needs, enable GCP revenue growth, and run our business efficiently. If you are interested in solving this really complex problem at a global scale across GCP products and top accounts, look no further. We are building a customer focused capacity planning team with the goal of providing a consistent, predictable and collaborative capacity experience for GCP customers. We are looking for Program Manager (PgMs) with passion, technical and business depth, excellent organizational, communication, and skills to work with a set of stakeholders ranging from Product, Sales, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Finance.

We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably.
