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.

HR Engineering is responsible for building the systems used to hire, grow, and retain Google's talent. We partner with POps (People Operations) to build First-party products and implement Third-party solutions that help drive people’s success.

In this role, you will work to support foundational technology. In this role, you will have the opportunity to manage various high impact, cross-team projects.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive centralized planning and execution of complex, cross-functional, multi-pillar engineering efforts.
• Establish governance over prioritization decisions to ensure alignment with key success metrics and structures for execution across multiple organizations.
• Build and maintain relationships with executive-level stakeholders (technical and non-technical) across diverse teams, ensuring alignment and executive buy-in. Use judgment to build consensus, drive projects, schedule, plans, execution, and communication across organizations.
• Define relevant project success metrics, track progress, and clearly communicate results to executives and project partners. Design and execute portfolio tracking mechanics to enable informed decision making, clear prioritization, and easy risk management across the portfolio.
• Perform technical due diligence to evaluate engineering scope, determine milestones, timeframe, and engineering resourcing needs.
