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 utilize your technical expertise and leadership skills to drive end-to-end delivery of complex technical programs as an individual contributor. Your primary mission is to securely deploy Google technology, specifically Google Cloud Platform (GCP), to drive mission value in large, multi-year transformational engagements for National Security and Defense customers.

You will lead complex technical program portfolios, providing delivery leadership and strategic technical consulting that exceeds customer expectations. This includes executive relationship management, pre-sales scoping, technical requirements gathering, risk mitigation, and program scheduling. You will collaborate closely with Google's sales, cross-functional executives, and technical leaders to oversee solution deployment, including leveraging our exceptional security resources to protect customers.

Google Public Sector brings the magic of Google to the mission of government and education with solutions purpose-built for enterprises. We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.

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