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.

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Global Retail Operations, you will sit at the critical intersection of physical retail, product engineering, and global scale. You are the architect of the day 1 experience ensuring that when a customer walks into a Google Store to see our latest innovation, the technology supporting that journey is flawless. You will lead the technical strategy for market expansions, transitioning complex product goals into operational reality while acting as the vital bridge between frontline store teams and core engineering. You will advocate process innovation to further optimize and organize system operations and global store support. This is not just about maintaining systems, its about defining the future of retail through AI-driven automation, release governance, and the engineering of scalable frameworks that harmonize our global fleet. By translating operational pain points into technical solutions, you will drive efficiency and minimize manual intervention, ensuring that our infrastructure remains as agile and innovative as the products we sell.

This job is located in either New York or Mountain View.

Google Store is our omnichannel, global retailer, leveraging the best of Google to help customers experience our award-winning devices and services. Our team is responsible for a vast portfolio that supports the entire customer journey, from product discovery to upgrading their next device. This portfolio includes the My Pixel app distributed with every Pixel phone, the Google Store global eCommerce platform, our leading edge retail point-of-sale system, and AI-driven algorithms for customer lifecycle management.

The Store team applies Google's AI to solve complex, real-world problems across our growing global footprint of online and brick-and-mortar storefronts. This ranges from AI-enhanced site operations to agentic AI shopping assistance, ensuring a seamless and intelligent experience at every touchpoint.

The Store team is committed to providing team members with the opportunity to build their applied AI skillset, so that we may ultimately help our customers connect with the best of Google.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $163,000-$237,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
