About the job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and guide projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks, and clearly communicating them to stakeholders. You should be comfortable explaining analyses and recommendations to executives as well as discussing technical trade-offs with engineers.

Using your technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various sizes and scopes, identify future opportunities, improve processes, and drive the technical direction of your programs.

Google's Data Center Cloud and Asset Portfolio Solutions team is at the forefront of building the physical foundation for Google's global cloud and AI infrastructure. As a Technical Program Manager for Cloud Market Expansion, you will play a pivotal role in aligning our real estate strategy with the evolving demands of cloud computing and the market. You will act as a bridge between our technical cloud infrastructure needs and the physical realities of our data center facilities.

You will leverage your understanding of cloud market trends, technical requirements, and data center real estate to inform strategic decisions on expanding our global footprint.

Responsibilities

• Analyze global cloud market trends, including hyperscale growth, hybrid/multi-cloud adoption, and demand for specific cloud services, to inform data center real estate decisions.
• Translate complex technical cloud infrastructure requirements (e.g., power density, cooling, network connectivity, latency, security, compliance) into actionable real estate specifications for site selection, design, and development.
• Collaborate with real estate and engineering teams to identify, evaluate, and recommend optimal data center sites based on technical criteria, market conditions, and business objectives.
• Advise on data center acquisition, leasing, and build strategies, continuously seeking opportunities for cost optimization, scalability, and operational efficiency across our real estate portfolio.
• Partner closely with internal teams (cloud engineering, network, security, finance, legal) and external data center developers, landlords, and utility providers to execute comprehensive data center strategies.
