About The Job

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 Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It's your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

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.

Responsibilities

• Conduct regular risk assessments and analyses to identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and their potential impact on data center availability and performance.
• Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies and controls, including policies, procedures, and technical safeguards, to reduce the likelihood and impact of identified risks.
• Establish Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and metrics to monitor the effectiveness of risk mitigation efforts and identify emerging risks.
• Serve as a key point of contact for data center risk-related matters, collaborating effectively with internal teams (security, operations, engineering, compliance, audit) and external stakeholders (vendors, auditors).
• Evaluate and improve the data center risk management framework and processes based on lessons learned, industry best practices, and evolving threats.
