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.

As a part of the Central Response Team, the Program Manager will define compliance strategy, drive execution of critical action items and ensure delivery of required artifacts at the highest standard while collaborating across various teams.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Responsibilities

• Drive identification, tracking and timely completion of compliance project action items by following up with stakeholders and clearing roadblocks.
• Collaborate with partners across Legal, Policy, Engineering, and Product to facilitate communication, build consensus and ensure alignment on requirements, decision points and key risks.
• Develop critical documentation, process guides and artifacts required for readiness and translate technical and legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
• Partner with the project's Technical Lead to shape key deliverables, identify technical risks and blockers, develop mitigation strategies and manage project schedules while aligning engineering work streams with program objectives.
• Proactively identify potential ambiguities and open questions related to regulatory requirements.
