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 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

• Manage the full lifecycle of complex security initiatives, from initial requirements planning with stakeholders to final deployment and launch across Google’s infrastructure as needed.
• Lead engagements with engineering partners across multiple teams to drive the adoption of centralized security solutions.
• Translate complex security requirements and challenges into actionable project plans, proactively identifying and mitigating risks to project timelines.
• Define, track, and report on key program metrics to demonstrate measurable risk reduction and program health to senior leadership.
• Align team-level security objectives with broader organizational engineering plans, ensuring that commitments are met on schedule and blockers are surfaced early.
