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 Power Systems Modeling and Market Intelligence TPM on the Portfolio Management team, you will lead individual strategic 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. In particular, this position will provide energy market intelligence, and expertise in production cost modeling with the goal of creating long-term fundamental electricity price forecasts, and identifying constraints related to generation and transmission capacity, which is crucial for asset management and our data center energy supply strategy.

In this role, you will leverage your expertise in power systems modeling to simulate various scenarios and support the evaluation of transactions. These scenarios will include capacity expansion, generation mix, transmission constraints, and other relevant factors, which will lead to valuable insights and recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Provide strategic insights and market intelligence for our energy supply by conducting supply scenario analysis and transmission evaluation.
• Contribute to the selection and development of appropriate modeling assumptions used to run medium and long-term production cost models.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret data related to energy markets, load forecasting, generation capacity, and transmission constraints to inform energy supply planning decisions.
• Perform production cost modeling to produce long-term fundamental electricity price forecasts. Create analysis to support portfolio management transactions.
• Communicate and present complex topics to stakeholders.
