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. Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices and Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices and Services team is making people's lives better through technology.Responsibilities
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams across Google Pixel and Android organizations to identify goals, define program plans, track progress and manage risks to ensure high quality products launches.
- Establish stakeholder relationships and directly represent the team/organization.
- Provide clear, concise and data-driven communication with stakeholders and leadership.
- Lead teams of test and software engineers to develop comprehensive test programs for new product app/feature releases, including any required test infrastructure.
- Develop initiatives and process improvements to scale programs, and increase efficiency and productivity.
