Technical Program Manager, Operational Technology Cyber Security

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.

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Data Center OT Cyber Security, you will drive the successful deployment and ongoing management of our cybersecurity program for critical Operational Technology (OT) within global Data Centers, specifically Building Management Systems (BMS) and Power Monitoring Systems (PMS). This cross-functional role requires a blend of advanced program management skills, a fundamental understanding of industrial control systems (ICS) security, and knowledge of data center operations. You will be responsible for orchestrating the Google Data Centers (GDC) OT Cyber Team's alignment across multiple technical projects, ensuring timely delivery, risk reduction, and alignment of the program with the business's overall risk appetite.

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.
