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.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will lead priority technical programs that deliver AI transformation and increase Googler velocity, deliver foundational infrastructure, and drive security, compliance, and governance across the company. You will navigate deep ambiguity, drive long-term technical strategy, and coordinate complex execution across a broad ecosystem. You will demonstrate exceptional technical judgment, strong communication skills, and a proven track record of driving operational excellence and scale across the complete software development lifecycle.

In this role, you will grow in ambiguity and complexity across all dimensions (including technical, product, and organizational).

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

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

US: $240000 - $333000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + equity + benefits
