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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us - and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

As a Technical Program Manager, you'll play a critical role in expanding our Shopping Metrics and Exporting Platform (SMEP) by helping to drive large-scale data engineering projects. You'll be the key link between our data engineering team and stakeholders across the company who rely on the SMEP platform. You will focus on clear communication, building consensus, and ensuring data is delivered reliably.

Responsibilities

• Manage the full life-cycle of programs, encompassing planning, execution, and delivery.

• Develop and execute project plans, managing program timelines and tracking progress against key metrics.
• Define program scope, goals, and success metrics, and work with stakeholders to ensure alignment on priorities.
• Facilitate effective communication across teams and stakeholders by tailoring communication style to the audience.
