About the job
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.
As a Technical Program Manager, you will own and drive projects for the EMEA Network Acquisitions (GNA) Planning team.
This position is highly investigative, involving data-driven analysis to develop overall Network Topology plans, compiling technical requirements for network assets such as fibre and leased wavelengths in order to meet forecast demand, while complying with Network Architecture guidelines.
In this role, you will be expected to optimize Google's Production Network for scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency while maintaining the ability to meet new product rollout in a timely manner.
You will accomplish this through close cross-functional collaboration and teamwork with Strategic Negotiators, varying Technical Program Mangers and Network Engineers across multiple teams.
Responsibilities
Drive EMEA network planning activities for asset/infrastructure planning to support product area demand forecasts over time.
Project manage end-to-end repeatable, transparent and complex repeatable planning pipelines.
Ingest, analyse, understand and rationalize demand forecasts for all EMEA related flows.
Translate these demand forecasts into regional capacity plans over time, taking into account market trends and technology changes to ensure the most optimised and cost effective network solution, translating this to asset/infrastructure requirements.
Own and deliver in-depth technical risk assessments based on various what-if analysis to ensure the best technical solution is planned for across the network.
Partner with internal business owners, technical teams, and strategic negotiators to define requirements, conduct feasibility studies, and optimise business processes for the timely, cost-effective delivery and automation of EMEA network infrastructure.
