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 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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will lead individual initiatives and projects and work with teams across the company in support of Google's global data center energy portfolio, including our efforts to reach 24/7 carbon-free energy and other clean energy objectives. You will focus on operational management of energy contracts, conducting portfolio analysis, generating actionable insights, and proactively identifying improvements that support portfolio operations.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Work with internal and external parties to maximize the value of Google’s energy contracts, while ensuring contractual performance metrics are being met.
• Assist in calculation of portfolio profit and loss, tracking, reporting, and forecasting on energy portfolio performance and attribution, quantifying drivers of spend, etc.
• Lead and execute project management activities for tactical projects and initiatives within our portfolio operations. Collaborate with diverse team members and cross-functional partners to address topics related to utility tariffs, rate structures, long-term renewable energy agreements, and agreement management.
• Interpret, analyze, communicate, and resolve complex issues that arise during contract management such as majeure, non-compliance, regulatory requirements, market and payment operations, etc.
• Oversee contract review and operationalization, leveraging data-driven analysis to drive process improvements.
