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.

CSRM consists of industry leading professionals who leverage advanced security systems, dedicated guarding forces, and risk management and compliance framework programs to support Google Data Centers.

In this role, you will lead and drive the success of audits and compliance as related to Google Data Centers. You will be a thought leader who creates solutions by leveraging the expertise of partners like Cloud Compliance, Legal, Google Data Centers (GDC) Management. You will cover a region of infrastructure spaces and interact with teams in GDC to ensure the delivery, execution and optimization of the audits and compliance program.

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.
