Role Overview
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.
Responsibilities
- Drive large-scale, cross-functional programs across engineering, product, operations, and partner teams to deliver multi-year strategic objectives.
- Define and roll out scalable delivery methodologies, operating rhythms, and operational tooling across the GEN ecosystem.
- Establish clear metrics, real-time dashboards, and governance mechanisms to track portfolio health, dependencies, and business impact.
- Facilitate executive-level alignment, steering committee reviews, and strategic trade-off evaluations.
- Identify operational bottlenecks and implement systemic solutions to increase team velocity and delivery predictability.
Requirements & Qualifications
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8 years of experience in program management.
- Experience leading technical or operational programs in an enterprise tech environment.
- Experience managing cross-functional programs with distributed engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience designing and implementing program governance, portfolio management frameworks, and tooling integrations from the ground up.
- Experience scaling systems, processes, or engineering initiatives during periods of hyper-growth.
- Strong background in data-driven portfolio management, defining health indicators, and building automated operational reporting.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate complex, ambiguous technical concepts clearly to VP+ executives and influence cross-organizational strategy.
