Data Center Business 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.

As a DCOps Business Program Manager (BPM), you are responsible for supporting GDC facilities operations. Core responsibilities include: supply chain management, financial support at a site level, strategic negotiations with partners, non-critical infrastructure project management, and co-driving strategic initiatives with different stakeholders. Additionally, BPMs oversee data center business operations, including budget, RFPs, procurement, supplier contracts, and facilities services. They also manage non-critical building maintenance and repairs and troubleshoot vendor-related matters. BPMs also ensure the best value of services to lead Google Data Centers to be an operation.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
