About the job:
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.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities:
* Oversee the shift from legacy change request processes to a request-driven, queue-based system for WAN Core, Campus, and L1 plans of record.
* Manage the development and publication of topology and infrastructure plans, aligning with weekly and monthly network supply plan release cycles.
* Support the publication of network plans by managing topology changes through regional reviews and change control board approval meetings.
* Establish and track performance indicators, focus on processing time, throughput, and SLA adherence for new planning queues.
* Provide technical expertise to drive automation and partner with teams like GND and GNS to resolve obstacles in the planning workflow.
