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.

The Growth Systems and App Foundations team is an organization in Google Search focused on driving and enabling search growth via apps. Its mission is to steward both the Android and iOS Google Search Apps, developing foundational infrastructure, delivering AI-forward search features and also driving motivated strategic growth initiatives at Google scale.

Responsibilities

• Implement communications standards across a portfolio of programs including executive and key partner communications.
• Establish a reliable and visible cadence for program reviews, decision-making, prioritization, and resource stewardship (effective deployment of machine and people resources) whereby improvements such as efficiency and utilization gains are measurable and the impact can be felt organization wide.
• Lead a governance structure that drives effective executive decision-making. Ensure governance structure effectively exposes and mitigates dependencies.
• Seek out and identify change management opportunities that increase program velocity and which affect multiple teams and multiple cross-functions.
• Define and manage a program portfolio of high complexity and scope, using technical and business judgement to solve problems that goal high business impact for the organization and product area.
