About the job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage various Engineering-specific programs and teams.

In this role, you will be responsible for the Data Protection Standard (DPS) program, a high-priority technical initiative across Google. You will manage a team of Program Managers and lead impactful technical program portfolios. You will lead the effort to replace fragmented, inconsistent data protection practices with a single, efficient standard, which is essential for achieving consistent data practices, ensuring sustainable regulatory compliance, and driving significant cost reduction across the company.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will deliver strategic programs with significant business impact. You will act as a strong, cross-functional leader, comfortable navigating ambiguity and partnering with executive leadership to achieve ambitious goals.

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.
