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 Google Technical Program Manager for AI Infrastructure, you will lead large-scale, cross-functional initiatives from conception to production. Bridging the gap between engineering, and product teams, you will translate high-level goals into a prioritized technical product backlog. You will govern the end-to-end lifecycle, establish rollout protocols for features. Combining deep technical acumen with agile mastery, you will mitigate systemic risks and manage dependencies to deliver infrastructure services at scale.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end execution of large-scale, cross-functional technical programs. Manage dependencies, plan resource allocation, establish milestones, and drive delivery timelines.
- Partner with Product Managers to manage and ingest high-level product requirements (PRDs) and translate them into backlog features to ensure engineering teams have a clear, friction-free runway.
- Elicit requirements, manage competing priorities, and align cross-functional teams (e.g., UX, Legal, SRE, Product) toward a single unified objective. Define and govern the release strategy for complex, distributed software systems.
- Proactively identify bottlenecks, release blockers, system vulnerabilities, or process gaps. Formulate complex contingency plans to keep multi-year initiatives on track.
- Define, track, and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), operational metrics, and release health indicators (e.g., deployment velocity, change failure rates). Build and maintain dashboard tracking tools to maintain program transparency.
