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.

We explore and promote technical innovations in areas of cable route engineering, marine survey, and network operations. We engage with external stakeholders on matters of seabed sharing and stewardship of the marine environment.
The Subsea Build team is a specialized group within GSN responsible for cable system construction. This highly experienced team blends skills from marine construction, fiber-optic networking, project management and contract negotiation to deliver this core infrastructure. The Build team has a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.
Responsibilities
- Support subsea cable projects with marine engineering analyses, technical guidance and recommendations. Evaluate cable route designs through leading route working groups, analysis of survey data and fault histories, conduct risk assessments.
- Review marine installation procedures to ensure quality and cost effective delivery.
- Provide thought leadership and forward-looking recommendations for survey and installation technologies, train other team members on marine engineering matters.
