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.

In this role, you will orchestrate multi-faceted supply chain programs, with a focus on critical compute architectures and advanced 3D display subsystems. You will have the unique opportunity to drive first-of-their-kind communication products from concept to mass production.

You will architect and execute comprehensive strategic sourcing frameworks to ensure a resilient, scalable supply chain for current and future-generation Beam products. Partnering closely with Engineering, Operations, and Business Development, you will identify, evaluate, and secure strategic vendor partnerships for high-impact subsystems. Your leadership will span all dimensions of supply chain management, including commercial strategy, supplier relationship management, total cost optimization, quality assurance, capacity planning, and global procurement.

Google Beam is a true-to-life new communication technology from Google that allows people to feel like they’re having real face-to-face conversations, no matter the distance. Powered by realistic state-of-the-art 3D imaging and spatial audio and integrated with today’s leading remote video platforms, Google Beam enables you to be immersed in the moment, together. As a part of the Google Beam team, you'll work with incredible teammates across all major functions in a fast-paced product-oriented environment. Your contributions will have an impact on the future of communications with Google products. You will apply technology to solve that really important problem that we often want to be together and we can’t.

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