In your role as the Data Center Change Governance Program Manager, you will own, drive, and improve upon the global program by which Google’s Data Center fleet submits, evaluates, reviews, and makes decisions. The process is built upon a strong culture of respect, empowerment, data, and speed. You will engage in the process daily to ensure its running smoothly, support high priority decisions, illuminate gaps, and drive process improvements. You will also leverage your skills to help facilitate complex global decisions by breaking them down into smaller pieces. Lastly, you’ll actively work to ensure the program evolves with time, adapts to changes in business direction, and scales with future growth. The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
