• Experience producing technical interactive experiences for in-person or web events.

Preferred qualifications:

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.

This is a team of creatives, designers, technologists, event managers, and producers who focus on humanizing Google through brand experience. From our marquee events like Google I/O, Made by Google, and Brandcast, you will collaborate with teams across the company on real and virtual events, content and broadcasts, experiential campaigns, innovative digital experiences and more.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $192000 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits
