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.

Imagine a world where the speed of light isn't fast enough to meet customer demands. What if you could offer a slice of Google Cloud that resides on a customer's own premises while still being managed by Google. That's what the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) Team is doing. We are building a portfolio of Connected, Air-Gapped, and Software-only products that are changing the game for Telco Network Functions, AI, AR/VR, and Edge Applications.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. 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.
