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.
Technical Program Managers on our Sustainability Data and Tech team orchestrate key technology initiatives and data-driven solutions that directly support Google-wide sustainability goals.
In this role, you will lead the planning, technical execution, and delivery for specific program areas and technology solutions.
Partnering closely with program leadership, business stakeholders, and engineering teammates, you will translate sustainability requirements into actionable technical roadmaps, drive agile delivery from concept to launch. Additionally, you will bring data analytics and dashboarding capabilities building reports on core domain metrics (such as carbon and water), analyzing business Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and trends, and empowering internal users to build their own insights on our data platforms.
The Global Sustainability team enables Google to build a more sustainable future for everyone by driving strategy and solutions. We drive the development and implementation of Google’s global sustainability strategy to further empower action, ensure alignment and prioritization, identify leadership opportunities, and mitigate risks. We drive sustainability strategy and programs on carbon, circular economy, water, product integration, reporting, and employee engagement, while serving as a sustainability leadership advocate internally and externally.
