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 Cloud Learning Services Team (CLS) works with companies, government agencies, and academic institutions to help millions of individuals develop and grow their technology skills with Google Cloud. We have the motivation to upskill existing and future workers with a keen focus on leveraging the power of AI in educational technology to reach over 40 million learners.

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.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will lead execution efforts for high-impact data programs that span multiple organizations and product areas. You will orchestrate the end-to-end creation of analytical reporting assets and robust data infrastructure, while driving the CLS AI data strategy to facilitate business excellence. You will lead cross-functional projects, negotiating scope and timelines with technical dependencies to accelerate data-informed decision-making. You will leverage your deep expertise in data engineering to lead efforts on domain and service improvements that directly support organizational growth.
