• 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.

• The Global Submarine Networks (GSN) team plans, builds and operates the subsea
• backbone network used by Google to provide our products and services. We
• collaborate with internal stakeholders and an array of suppliers to create
• construction agreements, oversee the delivery of each cable system, operate and
• maintain that infrastructure for high reliability and security.

• The Cable Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable
• system construction. This team blends skills from marine construction,
• fiber-optic networking, project management and agreements to deliver this core
• infrastructure.

• You will lead work between submarine cable vendors, partners, and internal teams
• through close collaboration with other Technical Program Managers, Strategic
• Negotiators, Network Deployment Engineers, Product Managers and Network
• Architects. You will use your understanding of the Google Network and your
• skills in vendor management, marine survey, marine installation, manufacturing,
• permitting, optical transport, outside plant, and telecommunications industry
• best-practices to lead cross-functional teams in driving the genesis and
• completion of submarine cable projects.

• The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
• customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
• Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
• customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
• worldwide.

• We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering
• the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing
• power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable
• developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping
• the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the
• development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,
• Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• * Lead cross-functional teams of internal and external stakeholders throughout
• project execution.
• * Review and validate engineering decisions for cable routes and protection,
• landing point selections, shore-end solutions and marine installation
• methods.
• * Collaborate with vendors on permit acquisition strategies. Monitor permit
• application processes and risks. Develop mitigations and assess schedule
• impacts.
