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.

As a Technical Program Manager for Third Party Risk Management, you will work with our risk coordinators, procurement teams, and external partners to maintain an accurate third-party risk profile. Your primary focus will be generating actionable vendor risk insights, monitoring partner risks, and evaluating vendors throughout their lifecycle. You will assess risks related to external dependencies across the data center fleet, maintain a cohesive narrative between third-party exposure and internal controls, and manage the central library of vendor compliance information at physical locations worldwide.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $163000 - $237000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefitsLearn more about benefits at Google.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive third-party risk register specific to data center operations, encompassing vendor physical, environmental, operational, and security domains.
  • Develop and implement third-party risk mitigation strategies, including vendor policies, agreement requirements, and technical safeguards, to reduce the impact of external risks.
  • Establish vendor Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and metrics to monitor the ongoing compliance of third parties and identify emerging external risks.
  • Serve as a key point of contact for data center third-party risk matters, collaborating with internal teams (e.g., procurement, security, operations, legal, compliance) and external stakeholders (e.g., vendors, suppliers, external auditors).
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. See also Google's EEO Policy and EEO is the Law.
