About The Job

Google’s projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.

You’re equally at home explaining your team’s analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade‑offs in product development with engineers. Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage various engineering‑specific programs and teams.

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 keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Implement communications standards across a portfolio of programs including executive and key partner communications.
• Establish a reliable and visible cadence for program reviews, decision‑making, prioritization, and resource stewardship (effective deployment of machine and people resources).
• Lead a governance structure that drives effective executive decision‑making and ensures its structure effectively exposes and mitigates dependencies.
• Identify change management opportunities that increase program velocity and affect multiple teams. Apply governance over change management to ensure it’s used effectively.
• Define and manage a program portfolio solving problems that have high business impact for the organization and product areas.
