Data Center Program Manager

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 Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

We are seeking a highly motivated Program Manager to lead the end-to-end design, development, construction, and commissioning of our large-scale data center facilities. In this role, you will drive complex technical infrastructure projects across multiple builds, overseeing computer farms, networking systems, AC/DC power distribution, and advanced cooling technologies. You will serve as the central point of alignment across partner teams, deftly navigating shifting priorities and managing change controls to ensure every facility is delivered on time, within scope, and on budget.

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.
