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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

In this role, you will identify, organize, and lead program activities and stakeholders in order to deliver business, operational, and technical improvements, with clear systems to measure improvements, optimizations, and performance metrics. You will scope, phase, and lead ambiguous cross-functional and cross-organizational issues, including delivering downstream change management, alongside the stakeholder team. You will advocate program management methodologies for particular needs and monitor and manage program tasks and stakeholders while adjusting program strategy to address complex changing circumstances across multiple functional areas. You will advocate for the programs and ensure alignment of cross-functional and cross-organizational stakeholders.

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. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver optimized program communication plans including executive and key partner communications. Represent the program team across a wide range of communications touch points including VP level communications.
  
• Determine phasing and metrics associated with program life-cycle that effectively address continuous improvement including Resource Stewardship (effective deployment of machine and people resources), including managing team of vendors.
  
• Define, lead, and own program charters that solve moderately complex problems that aim organization objectives. Translate vague program goals into clear objectives with measurable milestones.
  
• Develop technical analysis, tools, and processes that support engineering execution, excellence, and velocity. Perform technical due diligence to evaluate engineering scope, determine milestones, timeframe, and engineering resourcing needs.
  
• Anticipate change management requirements that are required by program stakeholders. Develop change management rollout plans for programs including impact analysis.
