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.

As the Technical Program Manager, you will lead the Data and Infrastructure pillar, collaborate with other pillar leads to define and manage the systems powering YouTube's user research participant recruitment.
