The role

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.

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.

What you'll do

Own the lifecycle, governance, and regional adaptation of global physical security standards, master specifications and reference design templates across EMEA and APAC regions.
Lead technical change management and design-exception governance across EMEA and APAC, ensuring proposed design variances, alternate hardware selections, and phased turnover postures maintain rigorous security and audit baselines.
Partner with engineering and tooling teams to deploy and scale digital tracking dashboards, CAD/BIM design-validation workflows, and automated quality-assurance tools.
Partner with global program leads and regional operations teams to scope and enable large-scale brownfield security upgrades and technology refresh initiatives across live operational sites with zero unplanned downtime.
