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.
Scale and Language Services (SLS) now carry out many tasks that were previously either not done at all or done only by engineers. Their work ranges from curation of data sets in different languages, development of grammars, evaluating and debugging triggering, quality work, and driving solutions while leveraging different technologies to provide solution or improve processes.

- Manage various programs of work, engage teams, engineers and vendors, set the pace for development and delivery of core search products.
