About the Team:

We have outgrown traditional "Tools and Automation". Our new identity as the Applied AI and Engineering team reflects our bold vision: engineering a self-correcting, multi-agent ecosystem that pioneers the blueprint for the autonomous Google enterprise. The Applied AI and Engineering team is responsible for architecting, deploying, and scaling agentic workflows, production-grade intelligence systems, and self-healing systems across Google Operations using modern internal and external technologies (including Gemini, Vertex AI, and advanced foundational models). This team goes beyond isolated automations to design coordinated, self-correcting multi-agent architectures that fundamentally transform how Google runs its global operations.

Role Overview:

As a Technical Delivery Manager in the Google Operations Center, you'll play a critical role in overseeing the development and delivery of our essential internal tools and applications.

• Cross-Team Coordination: Work with domain experts, Full stack, UX, and PM to translate project requirements into technical tasks.
• Risk Management and Mitigation: Proactively identify and assess potential risks that could impact project delivery, develop mitigation strategies, and elevate issues as needed to ensure timely resolution.
• Dependency Management: Identify and manage dependencies between different projects and teams, ensuring that roadblocks are removed and projects are delivered efficiently.
• Process Optimization: Continuously analyze and improve development processes, workflows, and tools to enhance efficiency, productivity, and overall team performance. This could involve implementing Agile best practices, refining communication channels, or introducing new technologies.
• Project and Process Governance: Establish and enforce delivery frameworks across traditional and AI initiatives. For standard projects, drive SDLC compliance, quality gates, and SLA adherence; for AI projects, oversee model lifecycle governance, including validation, responsible AI standards, and drift monitoring.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary liaison between engineering, product, operations, and executive leadership. Translate technical and AI constraints into business trade-offs, manage expectations via structured reporting, and align priorities across distributed teams.
