Capacity Planning Manager, Integrated Infrastructure Planning

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.

Build and operate an integrated infrastructure planning capability for Alphabet that covers the 0-10 year horizon, transforming product demand, infrastructure constraints, and financial objectives into actionable capacity decisions and a unified infrastructure Plan of Record.

The mission of the organization is to deliver planning intelligence and decision support, establishing common planning assumptions, telemetry, execution policies/principles, reporting and explainability that enable consistent planning and higher-confidence executive decision-making; integrated planning and execution, translating rapidly evolving product and business demand into integrated infrastructure plans spanning short-, medium- and long-term planning horizons; scenario evaluation and tradeoff analysis, enabling rapid evaluation of alternatives, supply constraints, and investment tradeoffs to support infrastructure allocation and prioritization decisions; and planning scalability and automation, improving planning velocity, consistency, and scalability through workflow automation, integrated planning systems, and operational tooling.

As a Capacity Planning Manager, you will execute strategic planning initiatives that evaluate future infrastructure capacity requirements, coordinate planning activities across multiple organizations, and develop analyses that support executive decision-making.
