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.
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.
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.
Responsibilities
- Deliver cross-functional projects/programs and ensure they provide value to customers.
- Work with core teams to develop and articulate strategy and tactical plans, develop road-maps, engage teams and engineers, set the pace for development, deployment, and delivery of software systems and infrastructure.
- Initiate new programs and be the catalyst for gaining support and driving them through completion, align team members and stakeholders, and communicate widely and transparently.
- Drive project delivery, technology reviews, guide technical proposals, and build consensus amongst cross-functional teams.
- Set project/program success criteria, create measurable milestones, track deliverables and deliver customer value incrementally, measure, analyze, and optimize to improve velocity, quality, and efficiency of projects.
