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 transform how users capture, edit, and relive their memories. By adopting an Artificial Intelligence (AI) first approach, you will leverage generative technology to honor every moment and accurately represent reality. You will be responsible for delivering professional-quality photography while ensuring equitable representation of everyone’s memories. Your focus will be on blending AI with creativity to drive innovation in the imaging space, making a meaningful impact on users lives.
