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 mission is to drive strategic alignment and operational excellence across Google Cloud Business Platform initiatives. We act as the connective tissue, collaborating closely with Engineering, Product Managers, and UX teams to ensure seamless execution and deliver innovative, high-impact cloud solutions. A core pillar of our strategy is continuous modernization. We actively leverage advanced AI tools to analyze our cross-functional workflows, systematically identifying and implementing critical efficiencies throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). By optimizing these processes with AI-driven insights, we reduce friction and accelerate our collective time-to-market. Ultimately, we build a robust, intelligent operational foundation, empowering our partner teams to focus entirely on building the future of cloud technology.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably.
