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.
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 and run programs in an Agile manner. Demonstrate a deep understanding of Agile ceremonies and a proven ability to lead, mature, and transition developing software teams into highly efficient Agile ways of working.
- Establish governance over prioritization decisions to ensure alignment with key success metrics and structures for execution across multiple organizations.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with senior-level stakeholders (technical and non-technical) across teams, ensuring alignment and executive buy-in.
- Use judgment to build consensus, drive projects, schedule, plans, execution, and communication across organizations.
