Technical Program Management III, Postmortem, Google Cloud

Job description

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 various Engineering-specific programs and teams.

In order to reach a high level of postmortem quality you have to ask the right questions. And in order to do that, this role requires deep infrastructure knowledge and close collaboration with mechanical, electrical and controls engineers.

Overall, this role includes ensuring the global Data Center Operations team has the tools, templates, training and processes required to produce high-quality postmortems that have achieved true root causes and identified realistic and impactful actions.
