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.

The mission for the Identity and Access Management team within Cloud Foundations is to deliver the most critical, high-scale, and resilient security controls and policy systems that serve as the cornerstone of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), while embedding policy intelligence and establishing AI-ready security guardrails that empower autonomous AI agents.

In this role, you will act as the single trusted point of accountability for complex infrastructure delivery, owning executive stakeholder alignment, proactively managing dependencies, and establishing centralized governance to ensure on-time delivery.

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. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

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