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.
Responsibilities:
* Lead infrastructure engineering programs, driving strategic decision-making and technical direction to solve issues.
* Apply technical judgment to navigate engineering constraints, proposing and implementing novel solutions that optimize system performance and scalability.
* Orchestrate major technical migrations and cross-functional programs, ensuring seamless execution across various engineering teams and organizational levels.
* Drive 2-week iterative development cycles in collaboration with Engineering, Product, and Technical Program Manager partners, proactively resolving technical bottlenecks to maintain velocity.
* Synthesize data-driven insights and performance dashboards to provide crisp, executive-level communication regarding program health, milestones, and strategic progress.
