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 collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver Configuration Engineering tasks, you will triage needed customer requirements, establish and deliver project and communication plans, guide the outputs of Configuration Engineers, and work with stakeholders and customers to ensure that we deliver well-engineered compute permutations. You will also help the product teams deliver results while improving process transparency and predictability. You will have problem solving, project and team leadership skills. You will be a subject matter expert on the process and data structures. You will work cross functionally to continuously improve the process and generate ideas to transform the business. You will have excellent collaboration and communication skills.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Establish a regular cadence for team meetings, communications, and provide regular status updates to all stakeholders including the executive leadership.
• Solve problems, manage risks, identify process bottlenecks, and focus team resources on the critical path. Measure the baseline process performance, establish new metrics, and build dashboards.
• Reduce the process cycle time and prevent delays to New Product Introduction (NPI) time to market that could result in lost customer market opportunity.
• Act as a liaison to provide feedback to functional process owners and project teams tasked with improving or transforming components of the end-to-end process.
• Create and execute project plans to onboard new product launches and track each of the deliverables across functional organizations.
