Demonstrated track record of delivering multiple ambiguous projects

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. In this
role, you will combine planning and process expertise with
technical skills to drive high-impact resource management and fleet
defragmentation programs. These efforts ensure Google manages its
data center capacity with peak efficiency. You will maintain an
end-to-end view of problems, partnering with engineering and
operations teams to define resource management strategies, track
critical issues, and manage escalations to ensure successful
outcomes. Additionally, you will drive increased scope and scale by
identifying gaps in processes or tooling and defining the features
needed to accelerate future infrastructure efforts. The AI and
Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower
Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by
delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency,
reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google
Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We're the
driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations,
empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models,
delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and
providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build
the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the
future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams
working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud,
Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research,
and much more. The US base salary range for this full-time position
is $163,000-$237,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are
determined by role, level, and location. Within the range,
individual pay is determined by work location and additional
factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant
education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the
specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
process. Please note that the compensation details listed in US
