Senior Technical Program Manager, AI Infrastructure

Senior Technical Program Manager, AI Infrastructure at Google

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 the Senior Technical Program Manager for AI Infrastructure, you will be responsible for the end-to-end execution of large-scale AI agreements for the US Federal Government and R1 Universities. You will be aligned to Google Public Sector’s most strategic customers, primarily focusing on managing complex AI Infrastructure deployments and ensuring the successful ramp of workloads.

In this role, you will track and drive accountability across organizational boundaries to navigate technical and security hurdles. You will exercise your cross-functional skills to manage stakeholders across engineering, product, and the customer, acting as the operational anchor for agreement delivery. Additionally, you will support the business by coordinating field enablement materials for AI sales plays and partnering with Sales Operations to track business and pipeline health. Finally, you will execute with a bias for action, applying agile methodologies to close process gaps and ensure mission outcomes.

Google Public Sector brings the magic of Google to the mission of government and education with solutions purpose-built for enterprises. We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.
