Technical Program Manager, Data Center Construction and Delivery (Thai, English)

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 usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

In this role, you will drive the successful delivery of Google's data centers, combining strong technical knowledge with program management mastery and handle significant and complex programs. You will lead multi-phased new builds, or manage a portfolio of projects and have a substantial impact on delivering Google's critical infrastructure capacity.
