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.
In this role, you will manage various projects, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.
This role offers an opportunity to directly shape the reliability of Google's foundational machine management systems, a critical component of our infrastructure. You will partner with Infrastructure SRE leaders at all levels, driving programs, providing structure, organization, and visibility to technical initiatives. Beyond program execution, you will be instrumental in establishing frameworks that improve organizational efficiency, foster technical leadership, and improve decision-making in a dynamic environment. Your work will directly enable Google to maintain its leadership.
Responsibilities
- Partner with SRE/Development leads to define and lead the Infrastructure program portfolio, setting investments, multi-quarter road-maps, and managing resource allocation and reliability.
- Collaborate with SRE Engineers, team leads, and development partners to improve the core system.
- Establish program governance for operational excellence. Drive process improvement and facilitate decision-making for organizational impact.
- Identify and mitigate risks to ensure successful project delivery. Build and maintain relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
- Track and measure program performance, driving improvement and improving program management impact for organizational growth.
