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.

The Technical Enablement and Delivery team of Google Research is responsible for nurturing research from invention to innovation. Partnering closely with executives, researchers, and cross-functional collaborators, our team focuses to establish technical strategies and roadmaps, orchestrate complex Research and Development (R&D) portfolios, and accelerate pivotal research pursuits.

Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.

Our teams aspire to make discoveries that impact everyone, and core to our approach is sharing our research and tools to fuel progress in the field -- we publish regularly in academic journals, release projects as open source, and apply research to Google products.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with team members and stakeholders to understand or identify defined work problems and program goals, obtain prioritized deliverables, and discuss program impact.
  
• Advise and drive key decisions and projects (e.g. experimentation, publication, product launches, etc.).
• Build and deploy tools and processes to collect, distill, and generally manage organizational information (e.g., progress/health of product engagements, resource management, executive reviews, etc.).
• Establish programs and relationships, influencing and optimizing solutions at the company, Product Area (PA), and organization level to maximize research time and drive key outcomes.
• Enable and accelerate key research pursuits, unifying multiple teams, toward transformative breakthroughs for technologies and Google products.
