Technical Program Manager, Strategic Workforce Solutions

Technical Program Manager, Strategic Workforce Solutions Overview

This Technical Program Manager role sits within Google’s Technical Infrastructure organization and focuses on strategic workforce solutions for networking and field operations. The position is centered on turning complex network deployment plans into repeatable, scalable execution models that can be carried out by third-party teams across multiple sites. The work supports Google’s broader networking mission by improving how infrastructure is built, operated, measured, and repaired.

The role is based in either Dublin, Ireland or London, UK, and applicants are asked to indicate a preferred working location from those options. The posting describes the level as mid-level, aimed at someone who can drive progress, solve problems, and mentor less experienced colleagues while bringing strong applied expertise in the relevant technical area.

What you will do

• Partner with Network Design, Capacity Delivery, and Field organizations to convert network solutions into standardized, scalable bills of materials and design packages that outside vendors can execute across several sites.
• Work alongside Automation and Bus Operations teams to build repeatable, stateless work packages that third-party provisioners and coordinators can complete with minimal oversight.
• Collaborate with site acquisition, edge infrastructure, and colocation providers to enable rapid, scalable deployments and support operations throughout the full lifecycle of the infrastructure.
• Support Google’s networking objectives by helping select vendors, onboarding them, and overseeing their performance.
• Act as the primary technical escalation contact for quality assurance concerns and service improvement initiatives.
• Measure performance, improve processes, and expand automation across internal and external teams to improve network build quality and reduce repair turnaround times.

What Google is looking for

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• At least two years of experience in program or project management, including leadership of multi-disciplinary projects.
• Hands-on experience in a data center or point of presence environment.
• Practical knowledge of outside plant and inside plant infrastructure, AC/DC power systems, environmental controls, relay systems, and rack, cabinet, or cage construction.
• Background in telecommunications and optical network infrastructure, including transmission systems, Layer 2 and Layer 3 routers, and data services.
• Experience managing or directing field technicians, engineers, contractors, or vendors in a telecom environment is preferred.
• Experience working across multiple levels and functions and influencing both tactical execution and strategic decisions is preferred.
• Experience managing third parties to achieve objectives is preferred.
• Ability to communicate fluently in English is preferred.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% of the time as needed is preferred.
