Leadership Technical Program Manager 2 - Asset Reliability and Operations, Data Centers

• Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of technical program managers and engineers driving asset reliability, configuration management, and lifecycle engineering across mission-critical facilities.
• Establish standardized governance frameworks for industrial equipment configuration, change management, and end-to-end hardware asset lifecycle across global data center operations.
• Translate executive infrastructure and security priorities into scalable operational roadmaps, acting as a catalyst multiplier for regional operations and engineering teams.
• Partner cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and network security engineering leaders to identify operational risks, resolve reliability bottlenecks, and improve facility uptime.
• Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure asset health, program execution, and continuous improvement across large-scale industrial environments.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in the technical or engineering field (e.g., Electrical, Mechanical, Reliability, Industrial or Controls Engineering) or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in technical program management, reliability engineering, or critical facilities operations.
• 5 years of experience in people management or leading engineering teams.
• Experience with asset reliability, maintenance engineering, or industrial control systems.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in hyperscale data centers, power utilities, or 24x7 mission-critical facilities.
• Experience with reliability methodologies (e.g., RCM, CBM, FMEA, Weibull analysis) or enterprise maintenance systems (e.g., CMMS, Maximo).
• Experience with operational technology and facility control systems (e.g., SCADA, BMS, EPMS, PLC, or alarm management).

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.

As the Strategic Lead for the Configuration, Lifecycle, Engineering and Asset Reliability team with Data Center Operations, you will lead a multidisciplinary team of Technical Program Managers and Reliability Engineers within the Operations Engineering pillar. You will own the global strategy and execution across two foundational portfolios; Asset Management Reliability Engineering and Operational Sustainability and OT Configuration Management.

In this role, you will manage a growing team including a Staff TPM for condition-based maintenance, an Equipment Reliability Engineer focused on life data analysis, and multiple Fleet Health/CLEAR TPMs while serving as the primary operational bridge between upstream engineering groups and downstream execution partners. You will also guide special project initiatives to mitigate current and future operational risks, reducing the end-to-end (E2E) lifecycle impact and operational excellence placed on local site operations teams while complementing the velocity of global scale.

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.
