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 part of the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) Technical Program Management (TPM) team, you will operate at the intersection of distributed infrastructure, AI-powered innovation, and complex sovereign cloud requirements. Our team serves as the single source of truth and the bridge between technical execution and strategic business outcomes.

In this role, you won't just track schedules, you will orchestrate complex cross-functional programs, shift risk left, and advocate execution excellence across the entire product lifecycle to deliver predictable, high-quality solutions for our most critical global partners.

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.
