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.

With the huge success of Google's products comes a huge growth in demand for compute capacity. Google invests billions of dollars in computers, networks, and data centers. We build the supply chain systems that empower that growth. ASCII works on complex multivariable problems by building reliable and available systems that help optimize cost, availability and reduce human involvement in the alphabet supply chain solutions space. Our end-goal is to build a closed-loop, self-learning system that covers the entire business life-cycle of Supply Planning and Fulfillment, and handles the majority of use-cases, leaving humans to handle with exceptions only.

You will be the primary driver for cultivating a development life-cycle within ASCII that is seamlessly efficient and inherently innovative. You will be responsible for defining the strategy and leading the execution of programs that optimize our development capabilities enhance our development tools, and ultimately accelerate the delivery of high-impact supply chain solutions. You will also support our innovative development of AI/ML solutions in supply chain.
