Technical Program Manager Google Public Sector

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.

Elevate your impact at Google Public Sector by taking a pivotal role in transforming how Department of Defense customers leverage Google Cloud solutions.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will orchestrate technical engagements that drive significant value and enhance constituent experiences.

In this role, you will provide program oversight and thought leadership, collaborating with cross-functional Google stakeholders, sales teams, and technical leaders like CTOs and CIOs. You will lead initiatives involving numerous team members to ensure the successful deployment of innovative Google Cloud Platform (GCP) solutions, including advanced AI capabilities.

You will operate with high autonomy and trust, taking ownership to drive outcomes through clear strategic intent. You will grow in an environment that values decentralized decision-making, empowering teams, fostering a culture of transparency and continuous learning.

You will have a unique opportunity to shape public sector technology and create a lasting, positive impact within the DoD space.
